  6. If you have configured tracks, resources or labels, you can associate them with the location now, by choosing them from a drop down list in the relevant column.

How do I change locations’ availability?

When locations are created, they take their availability from the event’s opening times. You can edit this in a couple of ways…

  3. Click on the location whose availabiity you want to change to bring up the location detail view
  4. In the center of the location detail view, you will see a timeline for the location
  5. On the timeline there is a blue stripe - this stripe represents the availability of the location
  6. You can adjust the availability of the location by using the ‘=’ sign to drag the ends of the blue stripe up and down.

To change multiple locations’ availability at the same time:

How do I make resources available in a location?

You can manage the resources that a location has from either the list of resources or the list of locations.

If you want to add a resource to multiple locations then navigate to the ‘Resources’ menu item in your event and click to edit the row and change the locations associated to that resource.

If you are updating the resources of a single location then navigate to the ‘Locations’ menu item in your event and click to edit the row and change the resources associated to that location.

How do I set which tracks are running in a location?

You can manage the tracks that are associated with a location from either the list of tracks or the list of locations.

If you want to add a track to multiple locations then navigate to the ‘Tracks’ menu item in your event and click to edit the row and change the locations associated to that track.

If you are updating the tracks of a single location then navigate to the ‘Locations’ menu item in your event and click to edit the row and change the tracks associated to that location.
