What's the Difference Between a Venue, Facility, and Space?
Venue - Location that has its own postal 911 address (Example: a High School)
Facility - Location that hosts events and activities within a Venue (i.e. the Football Stadium, the Library) or a group of like rooms, .ie. classrooms, conference rooms.
Facilities share the venue's address and cannot have separate addresses. If a location has a different physical address, it should be set up as a separate venue.
Space - Specific locations within a facility that can be split for reservations at the same time (Example: Court 1 and Court 2 in the main gym of a High School, individual tennis courts).
Spaces are mainly used by those using the Facility Manager tool in Bound
Accessing Venues, Facilities, and Spaces requires the proper associated permissions.
Add a Venue
In the school dashboard, go to the Venues tab.
Click the Add Venue button in the top right corner.
In the "Search for Venue" field, search for your venue. When you click the blank search field, venues will begin to show. Once you start typing, the results will narrow.
If you can't find it, try typing in the exact street address. You can also use Create New Venue.
That's it! You can now adjust the pin, edit settings, and add facilities & spaces.
Create a new Venue
While searching for a venue, you will see the Create New Venue button. This button only appears while you are searching for venues.
On the Venues page, click Add Venue.
Click the empty search box below "Search For Venue." If you search for an address or venue that doesn't exist, Create New Venue will be the only option.
Give the new venue a Name. You can also add an abbreviation if desired.
Check the High School box if this venue is for a high school, or leave unchecked if not.

The system will automatically detect minor errors and deviations from what the postal service has recorded. You may see this message:
Review the address carefully before deciding whether to keep what you entered or use the suggested address.
