Rooms

An overview on managing rooms as part of your facilities in MinistryPlatform, including basic information and room fields.

  • A Room is a record of the specific space within a building. Typically, each building has multiple rooms.
  • You can associate Rooms with Events.
  • You can create and edit Room records in Facilities > Rooms.
  • If a room can host multiple events at once, you should create multiple Room records for the same room so people can reserve each area separately.
