Create or delete a space category

Space availability is calculated and displayed according to category both in Commander 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

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 Distributor).
