# Amenities

## **Overview**

Amenities in UMA allow you to associate specific features, equipment, or services with resources such as meeting rooms, desks, or other bookable spaces.

This helps your users find the right space for their needs and ensures they can filter, book, and prepare for meetings more effectively.
