I have an SP2013 site that has a calendar in it. My users were expecting the same experience provided by SP2010 Group Work Sites which includes double booking resources, etc. 

It appears the GroupWork feature/template are deprecated in SP2013. I need them anyway. I see that the feature "GroupWork" still exists, but is hidden. I have tried activating this feature, which does seem to create appropriate lists and content types.

I added the "Reservation" content type to a calendar and created an item. The "Resources" field was empty, despite having added Resources and Resource Groups into the Resources list. Are there other properties at the list or web level I would need to set to get this to work properly?

Thanks,
Steven

p.s. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, it may actually be a 2013 question.

Hi Steven,

I could reproduce this issue when I created a new calendar and added the associated content type("Reservations" and "Schedule and Reservations") into it after enabling the hidden feature.

I compared the calendar in SharePoint 2010 and the one in SharePoint 2013, and found there was an option "use this calendar for resource reservation?" in the list "Title, Description and navigation" settings in SharePoint 2010. However, the option was missing in SharePoint 2013 though I created the site using "Group Work".

It seems that Only the Group Calendar created by Group Work Site could be used as the resource reservation in SharePoint 2013.

So, for this issue, I suggest you use Group Calendar instead of creating a new calendar.

Best Regards,

Wendy
