# Managing Class Locations
If you run classes in more than one location, you can add them to the system and assign them to specific courses. This way you always know which courses are taking place where. Participants also see which location they are signing up for, and can filter your offer by venue.
## How to add a location
1. Go to *Settings → Locations*.
2. Click *New location* in the top-right corner.
3. Search for the location by address or venue name — the system will suggest matching results.
4. Check the suggested address and correct it manually if needed.
5. Set a label for the location (the name it will display as in the system).
6. Save.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you search by venue name and already have a similar location in the system, ActiveNow will suggest the existing name — this helps you avoid duplicates.
{% endhint %}
You can also add a new location directly when creating a course, camp, or event — the add-location window works exactly the same way as in Settings.
## How to assign a location to a course
When creating or editing a group course, individual course, camp, or event, all your saved locations will appear in the *Venue* field — select the right one.
Once locations are assigned to courses, you can:
* **Filter participants** by location — useful when you want to quickly see who attends a given location.
* **Create separate sign-up forms** for a chosen location — participants will only see courses at that location.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you run classes in more than one city, ActiveNow will automatically show you a *City* filter — you don't need to enable it anywhere. The filter appears in the Calendar, participant list, and course list, as well as in the sign-up table, Client Panel, and sign-up forms (as long as the course has locations from at least two cities attached).
{% endhint %}
## Editing a location
If a location's details have changed, click *Edit* next to it — you can update both its name and address there.
## Deleting a location
If a location is assigned to any classes, ActiveNow won't let you simply delete it — it will suggest hiding it instead, so you don't lose your course history. Locations that have never been used can be deleted without restrictions.
## Class places and additional places
Locations in Settings are split into two sections:
* **Class places** — your school's main locations, used in group courses, individual courses, one-time classes, trial lessons, or classrooms/courts/lanes.
* **Additional places** — locations used only for camps and events.
## Classrooms, courts, and lanes
If you run classes in several specific spaces within one venue — for example different rooms, courts, or lanes — you can assign them to each venue and track their availability. This is an optional feature that you enable in settings.
### Enabling the feature
Go to *Settings → General → Additional features* and enable *Different classrooms*, *Different courts* or *Different lanes* — the name depends on your school type. After refreshing the page, the *Venues management* tab in Settings will allow you to assign classrooms, courts, or lanes to each venue.
### Adding classrooms, courts, or lanes
Click *Classrooms / Courts / Lanes* next to a venue, then add all the spaces used at that location. Confirm by clicking *Save*.
### Subvenue availability
In the same tab, you can set the availability of each space. Click the grey pencil icon in the *Availability* column next to the space. Enabling *Limited availability* lets you define the days and hours when it's available. Unavailable slots will appear in grey in the Calendar.
### Assigning a classroom / court / lane to classes
When adding or editing a class, an additional field will appear in the *Venue* section letting you choose the specific classroom, court, or lane.
### Filtering the Calendar by classroom / court / lane
Once subvenues are set up, a *Classroom/Court/Lane* filter will appear in the Calendar and the Groups list. First select the *Venue* filter, then filter further by the specific subvenue.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.activenow.io/en/getting-started/venues-management.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
