Our App In-Depth: How to Reserve an Amenity

This blog post was updated on November 22, 2021, to reflect new features offered by the ActiveBuilding app.

In case you didn’t already know, we have a resident app! The ActiveBuilding app is a super handy tool you can use to do all kinds of things. From submitting a maintenance request to reserving an amenity, so many features are just a tap of the finger away.

Today, we’re explaining step-by-step how to use the app to reserve an amenity in our clubhouse like the Movie Theater, Conference Room, or Banquet Room. 

Step #1: Get the App

First things first: Our app is for residents only. If you’re not a resident, or if you’re an incoming resident that has yet to move in, you will be unable to access the app.

But, if you are a resident, you should download our app and start using it! Just search for “Active Building” in the App Store or Google Play Store.

Once you download the app and enter your information, it will confirm your resident account here at Bowman Pointe and allow you to open the app.

Step #2: Tap the Amenities Tab

When you open the Bowman Pointe app, tap the three lines in the top left corner to access the menu. 

Then, you want to scroll down to find the Amenities tab. Tap on it and head to Step #3!

Step #3: Select an Amenity

Once you tap on the correct tab, you will see all the amenities available to reserve:

• Movie Theater
• Conference Room
• Banquet Room
• Poker Lounge
• Tanning Bed

Each amenity will have a “Weekday,” “Saturday,” and “Sunday” option because our amenities are available at different times depending on the day of the week. (For example, you will see a “Weekday Movie Theater,” “Saturday Movie Theater,” and “Sunday Movie Theater.”)

Make sure you find the correct room for the correct day, then tap on Reserve This Amenity next to that option to proceed.

PS: Some amenties like our giant games can be reserved any day! Look for Giant Jenga, Giant Connect Four, and other fun games you can reserve to play ahead of time.

Step #4: Review the Rules

Before you fill out the form to make your reservation, please take a moment to review the rules for the room you would like to reserve. 

Each amenity has set hours, capacity restrictions, food and drink rules, etc. that you must respect and instruct your guests to respect accordingly.

Important Note: If you are reserving the Banquet Room, there are fees associated and noted for you in this section. After you submit your reservation request, you will have to pay these fees and complete a reservation confirmation form by visiting our front office before we can approve your reservation.

Step #5: Fill Out the Form

Now, it's time to fil out all the details for your amenity reservation.

You will need to provide your name, reservation date, check-in time, and reservation duration before tapping Continue. Then, you will prompted to answer some questions so we can get more details about your reservation.

When you're done, hit Submit. 

Now, once you go back to Amenities and select History from the top of your screen, you will see your reservation listed!

Pro Tip: If you get served an error for the date and time you select, that means that amenity is not available for that date or time or you violated one of the stipulations provided in the rules.

There you have it! Now you should have no problem reserving an amenity here at Bowman Pointe using our awesome app.
