Spaces: Assign and manage custom search filters for a space

In this article

Along with setting space-level booking form fields, LibAuth group rules, terms & conditions, and details each bookable space can have custom Search Filters assigned to it. (Search filters cannot be assigned to spaces that are containers for seats.) These search filters—which are configured and customized by an Admin-level user—allow you to provide additional classifications and context to your patrons when they are deciding which space to book.

While filter assignments can be managed in bulk for your spaces, you can also adjust the filters assigned to each space individually.

Example of custom filters being shown on a public booking page
Custom search filters will be present when searching for a space/seat to book and in the details of each available space/seat.

To adjust the filters assigned to a bookable space:

  1. Go to Admin > Spaces & Equipment.
  2. Under the Locations tab, find the location containing the category you want to work with and click on its link in the Spaces column.
Selecting Equipment & Spaces from the Admin menu
  1. Click the Edit Space () icon for the space where you want to adjust search filter assignments.
Clicking the edit space icon
