# Meeting types

### Overview

Meeting Types allow organisations to categorise room bookings — such as "Client Meeting," "Training Session," or "Internal Stand-up" — so admins can report on how meeting spaces are being used and make data-driven decisions about their workspace.

### Admin setup

#### Creating meeting types

1. Go to **Company Settings → Meeting Types**
2. Click **Add Meeting Type**
3. Enter a name (e.g., "Client Meeting")
4. Click Save

#### Managing meeting types

* **Edit** — update the name of an existing meeting type at any time
* **Activate / Deactivate** — deactivating a meeting type removes it from the dropdown for new bookings, but it remains on any existing bookings for historical accuracy
* **Delete** — permanently remove a meeting type if it's no longer needed

Only active meeting types appear in the user-facing dropdown.

### User Experience

When booking a room, users will see a **Meeting Type** dropdown in the booking form.

* Selection is **optional** — users can leave it blank if they prefer
* Only active meeting types are shown
* The selected meeting type is stored with the booking and visible on the booking details

### Reporting

The **Resource Booking Report** CSV now includes a **Meeting Type** column, making it easy to:

* Analyse how meeting spaces are used across your organisation
* Identify the most common types of meetings by building, floor, or room
* Spot trends over time to inform space planning decisions
