Room Types

The Room Types page allows you to define the types of rooms that can be used to define a space within a property, for example, office areas, restrooms, and common areas. The room type values you define populate the Room Type field menu on the Property Spaces/Floors page and the Edit Space window.

Room Types are only used in installations that do not use the Space module.

To open the Room Types page:

  1. Open the Administration Menu page.

  2. Under the ADMIN heading, click Room Types.

ClosedAdd a Room Type

Adding a room type allows you to define the values that users will see in the Room Type field menu on the Property Spaces/Floors page and the Edit Space window. To create a new room type:

  1. In the Add Room Type field, enter a name for the room type.

    The name you enter must be unique.

  2. Click ADD.

    A dialog box opens asking you to confirm your choice.

  3. Click OK.

ClosedEdit a Room Type

Room types can be modified. For example, if you want to change the value that users see, you can modify the name. To edit a room type:

  1. In the Room Type field, select the room type you want to edit.

    Renaming a room type causes all historical information to reflect the new name.
