Feature Request: Reservations / schedule requests
Desired Behavior
I'd like to see a schedule or reservation system for asset requests and accompanying workflow changes.
- When a user requests an asset, they can specify a checkout and return date
- These dates are included in the request notification email to administrators
- Admins can approve a request, reserving the item for that timeframe.
- Admins can deny a request.
- Notification when another user requests the item in an overlapping timeframe.
Bonus functionality:
- Automatically clear requests (as in #5080) on checkout or checkin or when the request window has passed
- Auto-populate user and expected check-in fields when using the Checkout button on /hardware/requested
Actual Behavior
Requests have no schedule, only the timestamp from creation.

+1 for reservations. Our workflow doesn't need user-facing reservations, just a way for an inventory manager to see what future reservations there are for an asset (or category of assets?) and make/cancel those reservations.

Stale bot, I still would appreciate this feature. Please don't close the feature request.
+1 This is a required feature for my educational organization that checks out media and maker materials to regional school districts.
Also, possibly have the checkout date UI set so it only shows available dates (like on vacation rental calendars) to help users not select reserved dates.

Okay, it looks like this issue or feature request might still be important. We'll re-open it for now. Thank you for letting us know!
We are going to start gathering the requirements on our school soon.
This tool should be flexible enough to fit different requirements, but it does not need to be as complex as booked scheduler (https://www.bookedscheduler.com). However, it would be nice to get similar features.
In our case in specific:
- Define date intervals for request for each asset
- The scheduler shows a calendar, allowing to make a reservation only on the free days
- Users (Students) can make a reservation on the free days indicating the date interval and time of for check in and out
- Users must fill a reservation form with custom fields. One of these custom fields would be the person that would allow the request of the asset (i.e. teacher). Then the form would be sent via mail to this person with an authorisation button. If authorised, a mail would be sent to the user (student), another mail to the asset management team for check out, the calendar would change color indicating to block that interval of time.
- A table must be created to handle the reservations with the asset id, user id, custom fields (people who autorizes the reservation of the asset), reservation interval, is blocked.
Cheers, Grifu

This would still be a great addition. It doesn't see a lot of comment activity, but I'd appreciate the feature.
Yeah. This would be a gamechanger for us.

We are working on it very slowly, hope to have more time next month for development.
We also need these features in our university. Students need to reserve assets
University user here. I would also like the ability to create future check-outs.
We are working on it using the stable version os snipe-it. Soon, I hope to share features and some pictures.
Hello. Just curious to see if there were any updates on this. This would be huge for my department (also a university user).
Hi John,
There are some updates. I’ve implemented a reservation system but it part of it is still hard coded. It will be tested soon in our university. I can make a video showing how it works. But this is a custom version of snipe-it.
Best regards, Luis

Hi Luis,
It's great to hear you've been working on this feature request. We implemented Snipe-IT into our university environment this September and this feature has been requested by a number of staff and students already. Looking forward to finding out more.
Kind regards, Tom
Another University User here.
Hoping this new feature will include the following features:
We are looking to use Snipe-It for our loaner laptop program.
-
Is there a way (or an add-on) that will allow the user to specify when they need (pickup and duration) the loaner for?
-
Can we set a maximum loan period that users cannot exceed?
-
Configure an asset to auto reserve (mark as used) if the asset is not already booked for the requested time period.
-
Configure the reservation request or approval to trigger an email to the end user (requestor).
-
Have the system send a user/admin return reminder the day/hour/etc before the loaner is due to be returned.
Again University user here :) we are already using snipe it as inventory and lending system. Its great! Thank you very much. We are very interested in the reservation feature as well.
A calendar view for the bookings would also be helpful. However, the initial request would be a great start.
We have implemented a reservation solution in our school. It is quite draft, and there are many aspects that should be addressed in the future.
http://www.grifu.com/elearning/file.php?file=/28/galeria/CPR/Imagem1.png Features:
- Reservations of assets (the user can choose who is the responsible for the reservations, i.e. teacher)
- New user parameter: If is responsible for the reservations (assign for instance to teachers)
- Reservation manager: Where the responsible for the reservation can aprove or disapprove, the user can cancel the reservation, or the technicals can check out the asset; http://www.grifu.com/elearning/file.php?file=/28/galeria/CPR/Imagem2.png
http://www.grifu.com/elearning/file.php?file=/28/galeria/CPR/Imagem3.png
- Reservation notifications: When the reservation is made, the responsible for the reservation receives a notification; the user receive a notification if the reservation is approved, cancelled or disproved.
Description of this simple reservation procedure:
-
Users (students and teachers) can make a reservation of an asset choosing the responsible for that reservation (the project's teacher that requires that asset); The user cannot make a reservation for dates that are already reserved http://www.grifu.com/elearning/file.php?file=/28/galeria/CPR/Imagem4.png
-
A notification is sent for the responsible for the reservation
-
The responsible for the reservation navigates to the reservations manager to aprove or disapprove. This panel allows the user to manages his reservations and to cancel them.
-
A notification is sent to the user if the reservation is approved or disproved, or canceled
-
The technicals can use this reservation manager to track the reservations for a particular day (ie: today) and check them out without having to fill the checkout panel (name, asset, and dates). This simplifies the process of checking out, the technicals can checkout the assets immediately.
Limitations and future work:
- It only work for assets (not for models), one item at the time;
- In the future it would be nice to include massive reservations with just one mail listing all the assets
- It would be great to show all the reservations for a specific asset
- In the future a calendar view for the week with day/hour showing the reservations
- A way to aprove or cancel all reservations
- Need to solve the calendar view for checkin/checkout to prevent the asset to be checkout if there is a pending reservation for those days (this fix is priority)
- Update to the newer version of snipe-it (this was made with v4.6.4 build 3885)
- A notification system for the technicals to follow the reservations
- A lot more.....
+1 for us as well. We're doing this using a combination of things (shared outlook calendars), and having everything in one place would simplify things immensely.

I'm with @gormster on this. Would be great to have this implemented before the end of 2020.
We have a Snipe-it custom version with these features working during one year from now. It was built with version v4.6.4. I would love to share, but it is not optimised and ready for sharing. Most of the work was hard coded.
@grifu I would love to help on this, we need this in my organisation to be able to switch. Can I help you in any way with porting it over? My DMs are open - https://mjmair.com/

I have a manual in PDF written in Portuguese for students and teachers showing the reservation features that I can share. Or maybe place some pictures here. The code itself needs to be rewritten and optimised. I've been working in this custom version for awhile in a chaotic way, only 1 or 2 days every while and then (more then 2 months). This offset drives me crazy, because every time the work is resumed, I take almost 2 hours to understand what I've done. It is important to rewrite, optimize and make it useful to be able for upgrade, in particular the database issues.

Okay, it looks like this issue or feature request might still be important. We'll re-open it for now. Thank you for letting us know!
currently evaluating snipe-it for our organisations assets. A reservation system that can be enabled for certain assets would be really cool. We have a few devices that are shared between the departments and should be bookable months in advances so everybody could plan their events. If this could be done within snipe-it with a calendar view to check when a device is available would be great so we dont have to rely on another software to manage that and manually update snipe-it accordingly.
Also our users dont have to use different platforms to request certain devices.
+1 For us, it's pretty much the only major feature missing from this otherwise amazing software. How can we help to get it considered for dev?
Indeed, :+1: for this feature please
In our company we need this to plan futur assignation when a workstation can be assigned to a newer employee when the end of an intership of someone for exemple. We cannot set this in Snipe-IT and we need to put this information somewhere. We can do this in Snipe-IT only when the person leave.
I just got another request for this, but I don't think I've seen any dev response to it
I definitely think this would be a great feature, has anybody reached out to a dev directly to see if they're aware of this request?
I just got another request for this, but I don't think I've seen any dev response to it
Here you can find a demonstration with this feature: cpr
We’re definitely aware of this request, and we’re not fundamentally opposed to it or anything. @grifu if you can make your changes into a PR for us, we’d definitely take a look at it. We might ask for some changes or something for it so that it can be generally applicable for all users, though. Still, we’d love to at least have a look. And we’d love even more to merge it :)
I would love to contribute, but it is not easy to do. I've made these changes from time to time with an hardcoding approach, trying to implement as fast as I could. Laravel was a mystery to me, I have never had experience with a Model-Based development. I would like to help, but do not know how.
That's okay! There are basically two separate ways we can go (I mean, as well as just "doing nothing" which sometimes is the right choice...).
#1) If you're interested in learning how to contribute to open source (a very worthy goal!), we can try and give some guidance to you for your PR - saying "we'd like to see this change" or "this needs to be picked up in the .env" or "stylistically, this could switch to using this instead of that..." You could just put up a PR which is just a simple 'diff' between what you've got and what's on develop or master. And then we'd make recommendations. We'd try to be gentle, I promise :)
#2) If that's not your jam, you can just put up what you've got and say "you folks figure it out! But here is my stuff at least to start from." Maybe we'd have to fully re-implement what you've done? Or maybe we could take it and just add a few tweaks to make it fit with the rest of the software.
Either way, you'd have to just start by pushing up your changes so we can have a look at them.
If we're all really lucky, you no longer will have to maintain a bespoke branch of Snipe-IT, and the rest of our users will be able to benefit from your changes, which'd be great for everyone!
I would very happy to contribute to open source, but I that is a demanding task which requires time, which unfortunately I do not have right now. My initial approach was precisely to contribute, and I even created a GitHub fork for that. Initially, I've tried to introduce changes in the code in a way that would be possible to update from a standard version, for instance database updates, or even the datetimepicker module that I use for the reservations.
I can try to create a short report in English referring to the features and changes that I've made. I can also try to add comments in the code to explain each task. After that, I can upload to GitHub.
If someone is interested in the reservation system for Snipe-it, you can download and analyze the changes that I've made at GitHub https://github.com/grifu/snipe-it Before, I have forked snipe-it, but never made any changes. Today, I've removed that fork and created a new repository. This changes were made above an old version - Version v4.6.4 - build 3885 (master). I can try to create documentation and help the developers to adapt the code to a newer version of snipe-it. You can also try to install this version, but I have never tested. I don't have much time for a full contribution, but I'll try to help as much as I can. Please let me know if someone was able to install this version.
+1 this would be great. Haven't had the time to check out @grifu's changes, but I'd be delighted if it could be ported to v6.
I have a room full of test devices that need to be shared between different people / teams. It sounds like something like this would be good to have.
Usecases of users could be:
- I need device XY right now.
- I need device XY in 2 weeks for 3 days.
- Who is using device XY right now?
- What devices are reseved? / What devices are in use right now?
- Who had the device last week?
And stuff i think would be usefull
- reserve devices for people
- history of reservations
- future reservations
- extra screen with calendar
- define time-blocks (hours, halfday, day, weeks, ...)
- ACL for how long a user can reserve a device. Usual user, 2 blocks (ex. 2 half days = one day) with a reservation-deny(block?) afterwards and management a full week.
@grifu Can you share or explain a bit more what you did? Screenshot maybe? I haven't event tried snipe-it yet but it would be good. But i don't think i can use a random fork :)
Excellent usecase summary, thanks! Some of things I didn't even know I needed! :D @natrius Be aware that the current snipe-it version is 6.0.8, so the v4.6.4 - build 3885 that grifu based his fork on has been superseded 3.5 years ago. There are some nice goodies that will be missing, and I doubt support will be stellar...
