Facility Setup

Overview

In Fieldspace, a facility represents a physical location or venue that contains one or more bookable spaces (courts, fields, rooms, lanes, etc.). Proper facility setup ensures accurate availability and a smooth booking experience.

Adding a Facility

Adding a new facility to Fieldspace takes just a few steps. You'll define the location, configure availability, and add your bookable spaces:

1. Go to Facilities in the main navigation
2. Click "Add Facility"
3. Enter the facility name and details
4. Configure availability settings
5. Add courts or bookable spaces
6. Save and publish

Facility Details

When creating a facility, you'll be asked to provide several key details that help customers find and book your spaces:

• Name - A clear, descriptive name (e.g., "Westside Tennis Center")
• Address - Physical location for directions and mapping
• Description - Overview shown to customers on the booking portal
• Contact info - Phone number and email for the facility
• Timezone - Ensures booking times are displayed correctly

Adding Courts & Spaces

Each facility contains one or more bookable spaces. These might be called courts, fields, rooms, lanes, or rinks depending on your sport.

For each space, specify:

• Name - How the space is identified (e.g., "Court 1", "Field A")
• Type - The kind of space (tennis court, soccer field, pool lane, etc.)
• Capacity - Maximum number of people/players
• Surface - Material or surface type (hardcourt, grass, turf, etc.)
• Indoor/Outdoor - Whether the space is covered

Spaces inherit availability from the parent facility but can have their own specific rules and pricing.

Amenities & Features

Tagging your facilities and spaces with amenities makes it easier for customers to filter and find exactly what they need. Common amenities include:

• Lighting (for night play)
• Climate control (A/C, heating)
• Locker rooms
• Showers
• Pro shop
• Equipment rental
• Parking
• Wheelchair accessibility

Customers can filter available spaces by amenities when booking.

Photos & Media

High-quality photos improve booking confidence and reduce customer questions. Add photos to each facility or space to help customers identify and choose the right venue:

• Upload multiple photos per facility or space
• Set a primary photo for listings and search results
• Add captions to describe what's shown
• Recommended size: 1200x800 pixels or larger

High-quality photos improve booking confidence and reduce customer questions.

• Hourly rate - Base price per hour
• Peak/off-peak - Different rates for busy vs. slow times
• Weekend rates - Special pricing for weekends
