- a location search that you created previously
- search by location name
- You can narrow down your search by clicking
- Hide Locations with Conflicts - only those spaces that are available for EVERY date you have will appear. If no spaces populate that means nothing is available for EVERY date. If you uncheck that box, you will be able to see what is available.

- If a space is available but not on every date you will see this. It will show you how many dates are available in that space.
- If you click on Conflict Details it will tell you which date isn’t available. You can then ask for the space on the dates where it is available by clicking Request Available.
