# Adding a Lesson Venue

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 venues

1. Go to *Settings → Venues management*.
2. In the *Your locations* section, click the button to add a new venue.
3. Enter the name and address, then save.

## How to assign a venue to a course

When creating or editing a group or individual course, select the venue in the *Venue* field — all your saved locations will appear there.

## Filtering and sign-up forms

Once venues are assigned to courses, you can:

* **Filter participants by venue** — useful for quickly seeing who attends classes at a specific location.
* **Create separate sign-up forms** for a chosen venue — participants will only see courses at that location.

## 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 *Details* next to a venue, then click *New classroom*, *New court* or *New lane* — depending on your school type — and add all the spaces used at that location. Confirm by clicking *Save*.

### Subvenue availability

In *Settings → Venues management*, click *Details* next to a venue, then click the availability button next to the subvenue. Enabling *Limited availability* lets you define the days and hours when that subvenue is 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=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
