How do I know what to choose in “Manage Quantities & Locations” when creating a Project?

When creating a project, you’ll choose how to manage product quantities and locations. This decision determines how your project is structured—and it can’t be changed later.

Option 1: Manage Quantities with Rooms

Choose this option if your project is made up of unique rooms—where layouts, sizes, or product selections vary.

This allows you to:

  • Assign quantities directly to individual rooms
  • Track products room by room
  • Maintain a simple, intuitive workflow


This is the most common setup and works best for the majority of projects. It also allows you to group rooms into Programs for higher-level organization.

Option 2: Manage Quantities with Spaces

Choose this option if your project includes many repetitive rooms with the same layout and selections—for example, typical units in a multifamily building or repeated room types in hospitality.

Spaces let you:

  • Define a room type once
  • Apply it across multiple instances
  • Manage quantities at the template level instead of repeating work


This is ideal for large-scale projects where efficiency and consistency across similar spaces are critical.

How to decide

If your rooms are mostly unique → choose Rooms
If your rooms repeat with the same setup → choose Spaces

If you’re unsure, start with Rooms—it’s simpler and more flexible.
