Create Capacity Groups (How-To)

Article Details

Capacity Groups are designed to give you more control over your capacity by allowing you to set a shared capacity for multiple reservation types and services. For example, if you have daycare as a reservation type and as an additional service, you can place these in the same capacity group so that you can more easily control how many daycare dogs can be scheduled on a given date.

 

Before You Begin

  • Capacity Groups can encompass additional services and reservation types. This allows you to share a capacity limit across a series of reservation types and additional services.

  • Capacity Groups will replace reservation type capacity.

  • Capacity groups are not related to a specialist capacity in any way other than a capacity group is more overarching in that it can control how many of a service can be booked.

  • Location capacity overrides capacity groups.

  • You should not set a Capacity Group up for reservation types where Capacity by Lodging is set to "yes".

  • The Availability Calendar/Capacity will look at your Capacity Groups to determine if you have space or not.
