Assets

How to choose the right model

Pick the quantity model when bookings reserve whole assets in chunks. Pick the capacity model when bookings share capacity across a fleet or room set. The correct model matters because it changes how availability is calculated and what staff will see in the table.

How to choose the right model

Pick the quantity model when bookings reserve whole assets in chunks. Pick the capacity model when bookings share capacity across a fleet or room set. The correct model matters because it changes how availability is calculated and what staff will see in the table.

  • Choose quantity if the booking takes assets out of service as whole units.
  • Choose capacity if the booking fills seats, spots, or participant slots within the asset pool.
  • If your team thinks in terms like 'How many rooms are left?', use quantity.
  • If your team thinks in terms like 'How many seats are left?', use capacity.

Tips

  • Use quantity-based allocation for whole-resource usage and capacity-based allocation for seat or spot usage.
  • Turn on individual unit tracking only when the team truly needs unit-level operational visibility.
  • Use clear unit names that match your real-world labels so handoff at the venue is immediate.
