Manage Space Usages

Space usage tracks the specific purpose for which a booked space is being used. A single event will typically be divided into load-in days, event days, and load-out days. The usage is a higher-level designation that allows you to divide the event, without getting as granular as the function schedule. Space usages can show on the calendar and can also be shown on reports. For calculating space utilization, it can be used to filter out event days from load-in days. Since usages can be user defined, you can customize the list to meet your account-specific usage designations: Rehearsal, Artist Use, Building Tour, etc.

Understand Space Usage Types

When you create your account's space usages, you'll select one of four space usage types. They are:

• Event: For when when the event is taking place.
• Move In: For the setup before the event.
• Move Out: For the breakdown after the event.
• Dark: For when the space is ready to use but is not in use. This is most commonly used with theaters — for example, a play's set could be left up through the week, but there aren't performances every day.

Tying your account's usages to a type allows you to have better space usage reporting — you can report by your specific usages or by the types (thus grouping together, for example, all of your event usages).
