The Resource Assignment application enables resources to be reserved, and it is possible to create an assignment that has no services attached to it. This is particularly useful where organisations may need to remove a vehicle from service for maintenance. The vehicle would then not be able to be assigned.

Users can also choose to allocate a resource for specific dates (start and end dates) where the resource can be reserved, these assignments can then be edited at a later date and have services attached to them if required.
