The equipment rental tool lets you track physical devices — radios, laptops, cameras, or any other gear — that attendees borrow during an event. Every loan is stored with the borrower’s identity and a timestamp, and you can mark each item as returned when the attendee hands it back. The tool is designed for use at a staffed desk where an operator handles loans in real time.Documentation Index
