Shared equipment and resource calendars — used to manage bookings for vehicles, AV equipment, tools, cameras, meeting technology, and other shared assets — accumulate booking history quickly. Over time, the historical bookings make it harder to see current availability and create unnecessary data that serves no operational purpose.
Common types of equipment booking calendars
- Vehicle and fleet booking calendars
- AV and presentation equipment
- Camera and production equipment (media and creative teams)
- Power tools and specialist equipment (construction, facilities)
- Medical and clinical equipment (healthcare settings)
- IT equipment loan calendars (laptops, tablets, peripherals)
When to clear equipment booking calendars
- Annually: Clear the previous year's bookings at the start of each new year or financial year
- After a project ends: Equipment booked for a specific project can be cleared once the project closes
- After equipment changes: When equipment is replaced, retired, or renamed, clearing the old calendar of historical bookings avoids confusion with the new setup
