Defining Room Assignments for a Multi-Day Event

The available rooms can be inventoried or non-inventoried. But a restriction exists on what facilities and rooms can be selected and scheduled. Using this screen, you can create a schedule for a multi-day event where sessions occur:

·            In the same room at the same time over multiple days.

·            On the same day in one room but at separate times.

·            On the same day in different rooms at different times.

·            On multiple days but in different facilities or different rooms at the same facility.

 

When you save this screen, Personify verifies there are no conflicting room reservations for any of the days. The room assignment cannot be saved to the meeting product until no conflicts exist.

To define the room assignments manually for a multi-day event:

1.    On the General Meeting Setup screen, click Multi-Day Schedule Detail.

2.    Select the appropriate facility.
The Room Assignment screen displays with the previously defined rooms and configurations for the facility, as shown below.

6.    To schedule a room manually, click Add.

7.    Select the Begin Date and End Date and times the room will be used for the multi-day meeting.
