In Gingr, there are Areas and Lodgings.

An Area is a room or building within a facility that contains Lodgings. If you only have one room in your facility that contains Lodgings you may choose to only create one Area (example: Boarding Room).

A Lodging is a specific kennel, run, pen, crate, or suite that the animal stays in within the Area. For example, if we have an Area of Suites, our Lodgings would we Suite 1, Suite 2, Suite 3, etc. Lodgings are intended to be selected when a reservation type that requires Lodging (example: Boarding) is scheduled. Lodgings are booked at the time that the reservation is scheduled. If your facility is Cage Free (you don't use enclosures like pens, kennels, or crates), you can skip creating lodgings.

Warning: DO NOT delete lodgings if you are live. Stop and contact our Support Team for further instructions.
