An area is an element of the room hierarchy. Each area is subordinate to a building and can have rooms assigned to it.
To create an area, you need to select a building/floor combination and enter a name for the area. Additionally, you should enter the size of the area in m².
It will be recommended to use the same names for a room and an area if the room is made up only of this area. (To get a better understanding see the information about compound rooms.)
If you like to define rooms with for example permanent equipment, you will need to assign (previously created) equipment (e.g. a permanently installed beamer) to an area of which your room is made up of. Equipment can only be assigned to areas, not to rooms.
To assign permanent room equipment to an area, click on "Select Equipment" and choose your favored equipment on the following page by ticking the first column of the respective items. Finally, click on "Assign selected equipment" and you will return to the page where you can complete your entries of the area. There you need to save your changes.
Note: If you assign equipment that was asssigned to a different area before, it will be deleted automatically from the previous one once you save your changes! The costs for renting a room will not change due to the assignment of equipment.
Please note:
