Create or delete a space category

Space availability is calculated and displayed according to category both in Mews Operations and across distribution channels, so it’s important to create space categories that are meaningful.

Note: In order to create and delete space categories, employees need the configure service privilege. Learn about updating employee profiles.

Create a space category

Set up space categories to group spaces by type (e.g., single, triple, and so on).

Note: If you have mapped your space categories, remember to map any new space categories you create (if you don't, they won't be listed in the Mews booking engine).

2. Click on a bookable service.
3. On the left, in the list of Settings, click Space categories.
4. Click the + button.
5. Enter the space category details.
