# How do I create a bookable space or lesson?

> Set up a bookable resource — a space or staff time — with price, availability, capacity, and eligibility.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Available on plans that include **Bookings** (defaults off) — if you don't see it, ask your Uplifter contact.
  * Only **Active** bookings appear on your public site. New bookings start Active; set one to **Inactive** or **Archived** anytime from the **Configure** sheet on the Bookings list. **Completed** is applied automatically once a booking's End Date has passed — it's not a status you pick.
  * Choose the shape up front: **fixed-duration slots** (a set length plus optional buffer) or **variable windows** (open availability blocked out as reservations are confirmed).
</Note>

A booking is a resource members can reserve — an open gym or party room (a space), or staff time such as a private lesson. Create one from **Registrations → Bookings**, then click **Add booking**. The builder has four steps: General, Schedule, Requirements, and Review.

<Steps>
  <Step title="General">
    Set the name, description, image, and **price** (leave the price blank for a free booking), and turn on **Require Approval** if reservations should wait for your review before they confirm. New bookings are created Active — you change that later from the Bookings list, not here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Schedule">
    Add weekly **availability** windows (day plus start/end time). To generate fixed-length slots, set a **Duration** and optional **Buffer** between bookings; leave those blank for variable windows. Set a **Start Date** (required) and, if you want, an **End Date** — the last day the booking accepts reservations. Once that day passes in your organization's time zone the booking automatically becomes **Completed** and leaves your public site; leave the End Date empty to keep it available indefinitely.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Requirements">
    Choose a **Registration Mode**: **Athlete Registration** enforces the eligibility requirements you set, while **Open Registration** lets any signed-in member book and shows the requirements as display text only. Then set a **capacity** (blank means unlimited) and any eligibility requirements — level, age, gender, membership, waiver, medical, or file upload.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and create">
    Check the summary and save.
