Create a new room
On the Room Configuration screen, you can create rooms to use with the Room Scheduling component in WorldShare Circulation. You should create a room for every room at your institution that can be reserved.
- Sign in to Service Configuration.
- On the left navigation, click WMS Circulation > Holds and Schedules > Room Configuration.
- On the Room Configuration screen, click Create New.
- On the Create New Room screen, fill in the fields:
- Room Name: Name of the room (100 character limit)
- Branch: Branch location of the room
- Location: Location of the room in your institution (e.g., first floor, 2nd level) (100 character limit)
- Capacity: The number of people who can use the room at one time (5 character limit)
- Equipment: Any equipment that comes with the room (2500 character limit)
- Notes: Any additional notes (2500 character limit)
- Picture URL: A photo of the room. Enter the URL of the image. (2000 character limit)
- Pre-Schedule Setup Period: If you would like to have some time before all events created to set up the room, enter the time in minutes. During this time, the room cannot be reserved. For example, if you enter 30 minutes and create an event that starts at 10:00 am, any event created before this event could only be booked up until 9:30 am.
- Post-Schedule Inspection Period: If you would like to have some time after all events to inspect the room, enter the time in minutes. During this time, the room cannot be reserved. For example, if you enter 60 minutes, and you create an event that goes until 11:00 am, if you wanted to create another event directly after, it would have to begin at 12:00 pm.
