Facility types provide the ability to further define the usage or purpose of a facility. Once created, facility types are assigned to a facility or the area(s) defined within a facility. A few facility type examples are: pavilions, fields, picnic areas, meeting rooms, and assembly areas.

 Example: The Community Center is a venue comprised of three facilities, each used for unique purposes: the Gymnasium, small meeting rooms and a large multi-purpose Community Room. Creating a facility type for each identifies the purpose of the facility and is used as a filtering tool when searching facility availability.
