Rooms

 

Basics

  • A Room is a record of the specific space within a Building.
  • Typically each Building has multiple Rooms.
  • Rooms are associated with Events.
  • Room records can be created/edited in Facilities > Rooms.
  • If a Room can handle multiple Events at once, you should create multiple Room records for the same Room so each can be reserved separately.
