Exam Rooms

Set up the rooms used for exams, their bench layout and their shifts.

The list page

Open Exam Section → Exam Rooms.

1. 1Add Room opens the add form (a full page).
2. 2Search by room name as you type.
3. 3Manage Shift: how many shifts the room has.
4. 4The shift badge opens the room's shift page.
5. 5Add Capacity (plus icon): set benches and seats. It stays red even after a capacity is saved, so do not rely on its colour.
6. 6Edit (pencil): rename the room.
7. 7Delete (red bin).

The list shows 10 rooms per page, with no page-size choice. The columns are #, Name, Manage Shift, Created At and Actions.

Set up a room

1. 1

   Add the room

   Click Add Room, type the name and click Save.

   

   1. 1Name (required), for example Room 101.
   2. 2Save.
   3. 3Back without saving.

   You see Data added successfully!. Adding a name that already exists does not create a duplicate; it updates the existing room.

2. 2

   Set the capacity

   Click Add Capacity (callout 5) on the room's row.

   

   #	Field	Required	What to enter
   1	No. of Columns	Yes	Number of columns of benches, for example 3. This is stored, but the seat plan and capacity checks use only benches and seats per bench.
   2	No. of Bench	Yes	Total number of benches, for example 6.
   3	Per Bench / No. of Students	Yes	How many students sit at each bench, for example 2.

   Click Save (callout 4). The room's seat total is benches × students per bench (here 6 × 2 = 12). A room has one capacity; saving again changes it.

3. 3

   Assign shifts

   Click the shift badge (callout 4).

   

   1. 1Shift: only exam-type shifts are listed.
   2. 2Save assigns the shift to the room.
   3. 3Assigned Shifts: the room's shifts, each with a bin to unassign it.

   Choose a shift and click Save. Do not save the placeholder Select Shift. A shift can be assigned to a room only once.

Edit and delete

The red bin deletes the room after Are you sure?. The system does not check whether the room is already used in Exam Students or seat plans, so remove those first. There is no Active/Inactive switch for rooms.
