ressources assignment/reservation. confluence or JIRA

[rumburak]

Any simple way to manage (physical) resources assignment/reservation in confluence ?

A spreadsheet like form handling a list of items and allowing the user to assign and release an item (like a shared lab equipment).

Each item should have a name, a description and a "free/available" or "assigned to/in use by" state.

Can this be done in confluence ?

If not, can JIRA be the answer ?

Thank you in advance for any insights on this.

Hi @rumburak 

You'd need some system like Jira or JSM Assets to store your resources and JSM Portal to allow bookings for it. With our app Raley Bookman - Assets Reservation from JSM Portal you can make these 2 work together. 

Asset availability is easy to track in Calendar view and the check-in check-out is handled in a JSM request that represents a booking.

Reading your question, this is more a JIRA project

• Create the project
• Assign issues to the right assignee
• Your have versions (releases) within your project
• Workflow with statuses/Transitions that your issue will go through

Confluence on the other hand will be more to document your steps and provide details to other team members.

Don't hesitate to ask more questions if needed.

Thank you for your reply. It confirms my fear that nothing beats an excel spreadsheet in this case :) Thanks again.

Honestly there is no comparison between the two.

I can share links if interested so that you can create you first project. Once you get into JIRA you won't be able to survive without it.
