By default boarding and daycare share one number of spots. If you have different kinds of space, say large runs and small runs, capacity groups let each have its own count so a full set of large runs does not use up your small ones.
- Click Settings, then Features, switch on Capacity Groups and press Save Features.
- Click More, then Business, then the Capacity Groups tab, which now appears.
- Under Add a Group, type a Name (for example "Large Runs") and a Capacity (for example 6). Press Add Group.
- Add your other groups the same way, for example "Small Runs" with 10.
- Go to Services & Pricing, open a boarding or daycare service and pick its Capacity Group. Press Save Changes.
From then on, bookings for that service count against that group's number.
Good to know
- Groups only matter for boarding and daycare. Grooming uses time slots.
- A service left on Default / Ungrouped keeps using your normal nightly capacity from Settings.
- To rename a group or change its number, edit it in the Groups list and press Save.
- You can only delete a group that no service uses. Move those services to another group first.
If it does not work
- If you cannot see the Capacity Groups tab or the Capacity Group choice on a service, the feature is still switched off.
- If a Delete button is missing, a service is still using that group.
