Facilities are one of the many types of resources you can add to be managed in Rapla. By default, you have three resources type: Facility, Equipment, and Staff. Raise a ticket if you want to customise this section and if you want to add more categories as your business requirements change. Alternatively, refer to the Advanced Configuration section.
Expand the Resources Configuration Folder on the Side Menus. Select the Facility type, right-click on it and select New > Facility.
2. An Edit Resource window will pop up for you to enter the details of the new facility. Refer to the table below for a description of each field.
| Add a Facility Field Names | Description |
|---|---|
Resource type | By default, it’s set as Facility so you can leave it |
Campus | Only applicable if you have two or more campuses |
Room Name | Refer to your standard naming convention for rooms in Rapla |
Room ID | Refer to your standard Room ID coding in Rapla |
facility type | It can be either of these types (highly customisable): tutorial room, lecture theatre, classroom, computer lab, meeting room, auditorium, Zoom |
capacity | Maximum capacity of the facility added |
keywords | You can add keywords here (very useful when adding Filters) |
Hold back conflicts: Yes No | If Yes Rapla will disregard conflicts created against the facility |
3. Click the Save button after filling out the required information. The new facility you’ve added will now be shown under the Resources > Facility type folder.
NOTE:
For adding equipment and staff as resources, you basically follow the same instructions as above except for the fields or information that you need to enter. See the next two pages for the fields or information you need to enter for adding equipment and staff in Rapla.
