Manage Seating Plans

The Seating Plans screen allows you to configure the layout of a room.

To change the layout of a room:

1. Click the relevant room in the Seating Plans pane.

   

   Note: Records with a greater number of active seats than the room capacity are displayed with a warning icon.

   The room layout is displayed in the right-hand pane.

   

   If no seats have been loaded yet, the No seats loaded message is displayed.

   

   Note: A room layout cannot be edited if candidates have already been allocated to the seats. A warning message is displayed.

   

2. Make the relevant changes to the room layout.

   The following functionality is available to assist in configuring the room layout:

   • The Columns and Rows sliders allow you to set the number of seats in a row or column

   • The Active Seat Count field displays the number of active seats in the room layout

     Note: A warning icon is displayed if the number of active seats is greater than the room capacity. A tooltip is available on the icon which displays the room capacity.

     

   • The Number Start Position field allows you to indicate where to start numbering the seats from. This is indicated by a red square in the room layout.

     

   • Seats can be activated or deactivated (for example: to allow for oddly-shaped rooms or to create space for invigilator use) by right-clicking on a seat and selecting Activate or Deactivate

     Note: Active seats are displayed with a white background and inactive seats are displayed with a grey background.

     

   • Select whether to display the fill order or seat number by selecting the relevant radio button

     

   • Use the Zoom slider to zoom in or out of the room layout
3. Click Save.
