# Operations

> An introduction to the Operations module — where you manage your members, teams, bookings, check-ins, visitors, and support tickets.

## Overview

The Operations module is where you handle the day-to-day activity of your coworking space. It gives you a unified view of the people using your space, how they interact with your resources, and any support they need.

From here you can manage:

* Who is in your space (members, contacts, and visitors)
* How they organize (teams)
* What they book (meeting rooms, desks, equipment)
* When they arrive (check-ins)
* What they need help with (help desk)

## Key concepts

| Term         | Meaning                                                                                                      |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Customer** | Any person in your system. Customers are either members (with an active contract) or contacts (without one). |
| **Member**   | A customer with at least one active contract. Membership is determined automatically by contract status.     |
| **Contact**  | A customer without an active contract. Contacts can still log in and interact with limited portal features.  |
| **Team**     | A group of customers — often representing a company — that can share plans, invoices, and access.            |
| **Booking**  | A reservation for a resource (room, desk, equipment) at a specific date and time.                            |
| **Check-in** | A record of a customer arriving at your space, captured via QR code, access card, app, or manual entry.      |
