Create and publish a booth type
1
Create it
Click Create booth type and name it. It is created as a draft — configure at your own pace.
2
Describe it
On its detail page, set:
- Description — what the buyer should know about this kind of booth.
- Specification — free text for the physical facts: “3m × 3m, two open sides”.
3
Publish
Click Publish (behind a confirm dialog). The type becomes Open — an offerable entry in the catalog. Everything is free today; publishing is the catalog decision, and pricing arrives later on the same types.
Lifecycle
Booth types follow the same lifecycle as ticket types and add-ons:
Booth types are never deleted — the booths under them keep their reference.
Booths of this type
The detail page lists every booth referencing this type. That list is read-only here: booths are created and allocated on the Booths page.A booth type has no capacity number. The units are the capacity: if you sell twelve 3×3 standards, you create twelve booths under the type. This is deliberate — booths have identities (hall, number), and an anonymous counter can’t hold those.
Rules to know
- Define types before booths. A booth is born referencing a type; the Booths page won’t let you create one until a type exists.
- The specification is free text. Put dimensions, open sides, included fittings — whatever your sales sheet says. Structured pricing fields come with the paid tier, later.
- Closing a type doesn’t touch its booths. Existing units keep their type and their allocations; Closed only removes the type from the offerable catalog.
- Every operation on a booth type is recorded in its activity log.
