Offsite storage

This is an additional setting for the reservation functionality, which Trail's team (support@trail.fi) can add on for your organization, if needed.

This functionality allows to get a warning on reservation’s page, if there are not enough items available from the main location, and some of them should be gotten from an offsite storage. If the reservation shows the warning, this means that in the main location there are not enough items available as planned to be needed, but in the offsite storage there are available items to be reserved and used at. The warning can help to plan when and how many items should be transported for the reservations.

To use the offsite storage warning, for the parent location, change the location type to be: Offsite storage. You can do the change from Admin > Locations page.

If you do not have enough items available and need to transport more from an offsite storage location, Trail will show you a state: Offsite. This warning is shown on reservation's page and you will also see a red status on reservation list next to the reservation. By putting the mouse on top of the red status, or by opening the reservation, you can see if this would be the reason for the warning.
