Create a Pooled Position

You can set a position as pooled when you’re creating it, or you can change an existing position to be pooled. There are some restrictions on which positions can be pooled; see “Pooled Position Restrictions” in Pooled Positions.

Create a New Pooled Position

To set a new position as pooled while you’re creating it, click the Pooled Position switch in the Create Position panel. Clicking the switch enables the Occupant Limit field, where you enter the maximum number of occupants that can be assigned to the position:

For instructions for adding a new position, see Add Positions
