Create an Area (How-To)

Article Details

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).

 

Before You Begin

  • All admin users have access to the admin page controlling these settings. Additionally, admin users are able to delegate this particular admin page to other user groups. Non-admin users with access to this page will be able to make edits that affect all locations in the app. For more information see our article on User Groups and Permissions
