# Understanding Capacity Dashboard

The **Capacity** tab provides a time-slot level view of how an exam center’s rooms and seats are being utilized. It helps admins monitor bookings, track check-ins, and evaluate room utilization trends over a selected date range.

***

## Accessing the Capacity Tab

Click the **Capacity** tab next to Overview.

This opens the slot-wise capacity management view for that specific center.

## What You Can Do in the Capacity Tab

### Adjust the date range

At the top left, the **Date Range** selector (for example, *Next 30 Days*) controls the time window displayed.

* Modify this to analyze capacity for different periods.
* Use the edit icon to change the range as needed.
* Select **Clear All** to reset filters.

This helps in short-term or long-term planning.

***

### View slot-wise scheduling

The table is organized by **date and time slots** (for example, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM).

For each slot, you can quickly understand:

* when the exam window is scheduled
* what exam mode is running
* how much capacity is allocated

This enables precise monitoring of daily operations.

***

### Identify exam mode per slot

The **Exam Type** column shows whether the slot is:

* **CBT** (Computer-Based Testing)
* **PBT** (Paper-Based Testing)

This helps ensure the correct infrastructure is being used for each session.

***

### Monitor rooms allocated

The **Rooms** column displays how many rooms are assigned to that slot.

Use this to:

* verify room allocation
* detect under- or over-allocation
* plan redistribution if required

***

### Track total seat availability

The **Seats** column shows the total seating capacity available for the slot across assigned rooms.

This gives a quick view of maximum intake for that session.

***

### Analyze bookings and check-ins

The **Bookings** bar provides a visual and numeric breakdown of candidate flow:

* **Lobby** — candidates registered/scheduled
* **Checked-in** — candidates who have completed check-in

This helps coordinators:

* monitor real-time attendance flow
* anticipate crowding
* identify no-show patterns

***

### Review room utilization trends

The **Room Utilization** graph shows how effectively rooms are being used for that slot.

With this you can:

* spot high-utilization periods
* identify idle capacity
* optimize future slot planning

***

### Create or adjust planning

Use the **+ Planning** button in the top-right to configure or modify slot planning for the center.

This is typically used when:

* adding new exam windows
* adjusting capacity distribution
* updating future schedules
