Use room groups for other purposes
As a general rule, groups are used to manage a limited number of specific rooms. With a little imagination, room groups allow you to manage other situations. Here are some examples:
Equipment management
Example: your institution has 5 video projectors.
- Create a VIDEO room group with 5 for the number of rooms.
- Create the 5 projectors as classes and assign them to the VIDEO group.
- Add this group of rooms to all courses requiring a video projector.
Management of variable capacity rooms
Example: a chemistry laboratory can accommodate 2 10th year tutorials but only one 11th year tutorial.
- To symbolize the variable capacity of this room, create a group of 2 rooms (Chemistry A and Chemistry B), each representing one half of a laboratory.
- Insert this room group in the 11th year courses by entering 2 as the number of rooms needed in column No. (because this audience mobilizes the entire laboratory, that is to say the two halves that make it up, Chemistry A and Chemistry B).
- Insert this group of rooms in the 10th year courses by leaving 1 as the number of rooms (only half of the laboratory is needed, Chemistry A or Chemistry B).
Limitation on the number of simultaneous courses of the same subject
Example: you want to prevent the placement of more than 2 video editing classes at the same time.
- Create a group of EDITING rooms with 2 for number of rooms.
- Insert an occurrence of EDITING in all video editing courses.
- Once the courses are placed, delete the group from all the courses.
