A space type is a label assigned to spaces to help classify them. You assign space types to spaces to allow you to limit the spaces members and prospects can book with their hours/credits using space groups. For more information on adding a space group, see Adding a space group. This label also helps prospects and members sort and choose a space through the prospect and member portals. Kube comes with the following eleven predefined space types:
Board Room
Day Office
Dedicated Desk
Event Space
Full Floor Office
Meeting Room
Office Suite
Open Desk Coworking (When applicable)
Private Office
Team Office
Training Space
This article describes adding additional space types.
