It is often useful to group facilities together to make the booking of facilities easier. In particular grouping allows you to do the following:

• Organise facilities so that they appear together regardless of their name
• Book any available facility in the group without having to check to see which one is free

For example you might use a Facility Group if you had several squash courts which you hired out. Setting up a group called "Classrooms" would ensure that all of your classrooms appeared together and that bookings could automatically select the first available room unless you wanted to book a specific one.

Groups are set up as follows:

1. Display the Facilities page by clicking on the Facilities button on the toolbar
2. Click on Add Group in the task list to display a new Facility Group form as shown below:

3. Enter the name you want the group to be know by (e.g. Classrooms).
4. Select the Group you want it to appear under.
5. Click the OK button to save the Facility Group.

The group a facility belongs to is specified when you setup a facility.
