Setting Up New Classrooms in Schools
The Classroom Editor defines classroom attributes for a school site such as room numbers, building, classroom type, and seating capacity. The list of classroom types must be defined in the Schools > Codes > Classrooms before it can be used in scheduling and classroom setup for the Seating Chart to take attendance.

If you have a multipurpose room, for example, that serves as your cafeteria and your gymnasium; you cannot have the same room number. You must select identifiers for each, such as C-100 for Cafeteria and G-100 for Gym.
Editing/Deleting Classrooms in Schools
It is from this list that you may also edit or delete the classrooms. BE CAREFUL – it is not a good thing to delete classrooms – they may be linked to courses and will cause courses to break.
Note: you may edit all entries except for the Room Number.
This data is then added in scheduling under Master Schedule
