# Create or copy a location

## Create a location

1. Go to **Admin** > **Settings** > **Locations**.
2. Click **New** (the plus button on a phone). A menu opens.
3. Choose **Physical location** or **Online location**. The create page opens already set to that kind, titled **New location** or **New online location**. The form has no switch between the two.
4. Enter a **Name**.
5. For a physical location, add an **Address**. Search for it and choose a suggestion. The address then shows with its map, and **Change** lets you search again. If the search cannot find it, select **Can't find it? Enter it yourself** and fill in **Street address**, **Apt, suite, etc.**, **City**, **State**, **Postal** and **Country**, then choose the **Timezone** from the list. **Search for it instead** goes back to the search. A physical location needs a **Street address**, **City** and **Country** before it can be created. If you choose a suggestion that is only a town or postcode, or leave the search without choosing one, the address fields open with what is known so you can finish it. The time zone comes from the address you chose. You choose it by hand only when you type the address yourself.
6. For a physical location, review the **Resources** section. It starts with one row: **Main Room**, type **Room**, capacity **20**. A business that said at sign-up that customers book a court, lane or room starts with **Main Court**, type **Court**, and so does an older business set up as a sports facility. Change the name, type, or capacity, or click **Add another room** (the button names the type, for example **Add another court**) to add more rows. A row's name follows its type until you edit the name.
7. An online location has no address, only its **Timezone**. On the create page it is shown for reference and is detected from your browser, so you cannot change it there. Enter **Max attendees**. Naayya creates one virtual resource for the location with that capacity, and classes there take their capacity from it.
8. Under **Operating hours**, the default is every day from 05:00 to 22:00. Click **Change** to edit the hours, or **Apply Monday to all days** to copy one day across the week.
9. Click **Create location**.

Each field is checked when you leave it, and a problem shows next to the field that caused it. When you click **Create location**, or choose a suggestion that is only a town or postcode, the page says under the address which of the street address, city or country is still missing. The location and its resources are saved together. If a resource cannot be saved, the location is not created and the reason appears next to the field.

When the location is created, the page shows what was saved and offers **Create a class**, **Back to locations** (or **Back to setup** if you started from the setup checklist), and **Add details**. Phone number, photo, description, and amenities are not on the create page. Add them later from the location's page: open the location's **More actions** menu and select **Edit**.

A physical location counts for **Add your location and rooms** in the setup checklist only once it has its address. Until then, the step opens that location's page so you can add it.

The hours you set here are the location's opening hours. Resources at the location follow them until you give a resource its own hours. See [Set Availability Schedules](/help-center/appointment-availability#set-resource-availability).

A location that is closed every day cannot take bookings for services, but classes there still run. The hours editor shows this note when every day is off. A day's only time range cannot be removed. To close a day, turn off that day's switch.

## Duplicate a location

Create a copy of an existing location with its settings and its resources.

1. Go to **Admin** > **Settings** > **Locations**.
2. Find the location and open its **More actions** menu.
3. Select **Duplicate**.

A physical location without its address cannot be copied. Add the address first. The new location is created with “(Copy)” added to the name. It has a copy of each of the original's resources, except archived ones. The photo is not copied. If the resources cannot be copied, the new location is not created. Edit the copy to customize the details.

See [what your plan includes](/help-center/location-and-resource-limits) if an option is unavailable.
