Before you build your master schedule, define room scheduling parameters. Depending on how your school schedules courses in rooms, you enter varying amounts of information.
For example, if teachers teach their classes in their own rooms, you might only define room numbers. If you let the system schedule classes in rooms by department and size, you define more information.

Note: Room scheduling parameters are not year-specific. Any changes you make in the Build view automatically apply to the room information users see in the School view. |
If you define preferences and/or rules for rooms, the system uses the following hierarchy to assign rooms to courses:
- Pre-scheduled room on the Workspace
- Preferred room only for a staff member
- A rule
- Staff preferred room
If you do not define preferences and/or rules for rooms, the system uses the following hierarchy to assign rooms to courses:
- Pre-scheduled room on the Workspace
- Teacher department
- Course department
- Room size (minimum capacity to accommodate a section)
- Staff preferred room
