How to create and adjust capacity pools

"Pools" in VenueSumo is a way to catergorise spaces and allocate those spaces:

  • Time
  • Max quanity off particpants
  • Intervals


  1. To do this go to Settings > Locations > "Pools" tab

  1. Choose a Pool you would like to edit or create a new pool by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking "New Pool"


Fields include:

Name = Name of pool

Tag = Groups the pools in bookings calendar

Prioritiy = Display order of the pools

Session Type = Days, Hours or minutes (Minutes are highly recomended)

Interval = (x) amount of time between sessions

Defaulty Quanity = Max amount of people in that pool per interval

Low Quanity Warning = Message that displays at the booking site at the (x) amount of space left

Overbooking Quanity =How many spaces managment is allowed to overbook

Show Pool = If on, the pool will show in bookings calendar

Per Booking = If on, only 1 of this pool will reserve per booking (useful for party rooms etc)

Fixed times = If the pool is something that happens at sparratic times and not interval based you can manually allocate times

Allocations= If yes, admin can allocate spaces in this pool (e.g Party room 1, Party room 2)


  1. Don't forget to save your changes and allocate a facility to your new pool!
