This guide explains how you can import Rooms into SEAtS.
Rooms are listed within the Admin site under the Devices menu. Their function is to be associated with attendance capture devices and timetabled events, in order to identify where a student should be according to their schedule and facilitate the recording of presence in the correct location.
Rooms are generally added via the import process. Rooms can also be manually added or removed through the user interface.
Instructions
Populate the room data interface file with the required information. The data fields within the Rooms import file are: - Room Code (Room ID where the device is situated) - Room Name (Room Name where device is situated) - Room Capacity (Maximum number of students in the Room) - Site Code (Site Identifier) - Site Name (Name of Site) - Building Code (Building ID where room is located) - Building Name (Building where room is located)
All fields are mandatory other than Capacity.
Once you have a complete Room data file, import it into SEAtS using the Importer tool:
- Go to Imports in the Admin Site
- Select your Room data file from the file browser
- Specify the Import Type as Rooms
- Click Validate File to check the file format is correct
- Click Process File if the validation was successful
The status of the import can be tracked through the User Notifications area. When processed, new Rooms will be displayed within the Rooms area in the Devices section of the Admin Site.
