# Create rooms

## About rooms

Rooms are primarily used to correctly determine the current location of Localino trackers. 

You can create an unlimited number of rooms on one floor.

## Procedure

Rooms are created in 3 steps.

### Step 1: Create a room asset

Each room must be created as a separate asset.

Proceed as described in [↗ Create an asset](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/documentation/assets/create-assets) and create an asset with the asset type «SPACE».

{% hint style="info" %}
«SPACE» is a predefined asset type. 

Rooms created using this asset type will in future have additional functionality. For example, rooms can be booked.
{% endhint %}

### Step 2: Assign the room asset to a floor

Next, you must assign the room asset you just created to a floor. This is done via the asset details.
