You can adjust the availability at your property by creating availability adjustments i.e., adding or removing spaces from a space category using the Availability & occupancy report.

You might want to create availability adjustments, for example, if you want to block spaces for a wedding party or a potential renovation, or if you want to overbook a space type to drive occupancy at your property.
