If you would like the room optimisation tool to consider the room capacity of alternative rooms, the alternative room ring must remain open, i.e. you need to create an alternative room chain, instead. The example below illustrates this.

 

 

 

 

 

The example shows that room R3a has a capacity for 22 persons. When this room is unavailable, the next suitable room for this lesson is the slightly larger room R2a. The next room in the chain is the even larger room R2b etc. The alternative room for R1a is R1b, and the chain ends here because R3a with its lower capacity is unsuitable as an alternative room for R1b.

 

Room capacity and optimisation

If you wish the room capacity to be taken into consideration, check the relevant box in the optimisation or room optimisation dialogue before starting an optimisation or room optimisation run.

 

Specify the level of importance of the room capacity function by adjusting the weighting option "Take room capacity into consideration" in the weighting dialogue ("Scheduling | Weighting") on the "Rooms" tab.
