# Facility

This page will provide instructions on how to add a facility as one type of resource in Rapla.

## **Overview** <a href="#add-a-facility" id="add-a-facility"></a>

Facilities are one of the many types of resources you can add to be managed in Rapla. By default, you have three resources type: Facility, Equipment, and Staff. [Raise a ticket](https://silverband.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portals) if you want to customise this section and if you want to add more categories as your business requirements change. Alternatively, refer to the [Advanced Configuration ](/home/rapla/advanced-configuration/publish-html-calendar-views.md)section.

## **Workflow** <a href="#add-a-facility" id="add-a-facility"></a>

1. Expand the **Resources** Configuration Folder on the **Side Menus**. Select the **Facility** type, right-click on it and select **New** > **Facility**.
