Start by creating your Space types and Subspace types. Before setting them up, think about how you want to organize your locations and how your team will use them. The system is flexible, so you can structure it in a way that fits your operation. Below are recommended examples:

1.

Space type: Lodging
Subspace types: Room, Suite Example: Space = Sunset House or River Rim Lodge Subspaces = Room 1, Blue Suite

2.

Space Type: Shooting Ground
Subspace Types: Stand, Peg, Range Bay, Target Area, Course Section, etc. Example: Space = Twin Peaks Subspaces = Range Bay 1, Stand 1, etc.

3.

Space type: Employee Areas
Subspace types: Storage, Maintenance Example: Space = Office, Warehouse Subspaces = Maintenance closet, storage room or other individual areas within that space

4.

Space type: Equestrian
Subspace types: Stall, Tack Room, Feed Room Example: Space = Barn, Arena Subspaces = Stall 1, Tack Room, Feed Room
