Your current venues can be found in the sheep settings section. Go to settings.sheepcrm.com and log in to your CRM user account if not already. From the settings section, click on the spaces tab in the navigation and click on the venues option to view your existing venues.

To add a new venue, click on the add venue button located in the top right of the existing venues list. This will bring up a blank sidepanel with the following fields:

Enter the name of the venue, which will be visible to front-end users.

Outline the venue, this should be a short and clear as possible.

Enter an in-depth description of the venue, including the facilities included in the venue and any additional information that will be useful to potential bookers. Use as much detail as possible to help promote the venue.

For internal use, mark the venue with tags to help search and identify it more easily.

If you want to manage the availability for this venue either in sheepCRM or through the self-service app you will want to select "yes". Please note that if you select "no" for this, the venue will appear in the Other Venues section underneath the rest of your manageable venues and you will be unable to create or manage bookings.

By default Sheep will stop you or a front-end user double booking a venue. If this venue can legitimately be double booked or used by more than one user, disable clash detection and Sheep will allow this venue to be double-booked.

If you have an existing Google Calendar that you would like to import into this Venue, select "yes". Please note that you must connect your Google Account to sheepCRM first in your integrations settings.

If you want to set a specific colour for this Venue, select a colour from the available options. Please note that if no colour is selected Sheep will pick a colour at random.

For internal use, enter the max capacity for the venue.

Start typing to view and select facilities from the generated list. These facilities will appear on the venue information page in the self-service app. Additional facilities can be created by typing a new phrase and clicked on the generated option.

Enter a price value to display on the self-service app. This is generally a stand-alone price (£40.00) but could also include extra information (£40.00 ph). The app will automatically put a 'from' in front.

For internal use, enter the opening time for the venue.

For internal use, enter the closing time for the venue.

Enter the full address of the venue, this will be present on email confirmations to help users find the venue.

Upload images to showcase or promote the venue. Ideally, these should be landscape and in JPEG format.

If you wish for the venue to be available for reservations and enquiries by front-end users through the self-service app, select "yes". If you select "no" and have Manage Availability set to "yes", you will still be able to create and manage bookings inside sheepCRM.

If you would like front-end users to only be able to make full reservations for the venue, select "Full Reservations" only. If you prefer users to make non-binding enquiries that you can manually approve, select "Enquiries" only. If you are happy for users to perform either, select "Both".

From the existing venues list, scroll down to the desired venue and click on the name or the edit icon located to the right of the type to bring up a sidepanel with the current data. For more information on each field, please see the adding a new venue topic above.
