Additional Information

Each space has several fields. They differ slightly depending on whether it is a study space, a food establishment, or access to tech.

Users get the best experience from Scout when spaces provide maximum information. The more fields you can complete, the better.

Spaces can only be edited individually; there is no bulk editing. If you manage several spaces in the same building and want, for example, to update the hours for each space, you must edit them individually.

Next to some fields, you will see a blue information icon . Click the icon to learn more about how to make a selection or what information is needed for this field.
