Overview

The room and seat configuration of your center — often called the floor plan or seat map — is fully synced to partner organizations. When you add a new room, change its capacity, update seat identifiers, or remove a room, those changes flow to the partner side automatically. This ensures that the partner organization always has an accurate picture of your center’s physical layout and availability when planning candidate sessions.

Room configuration that is synced

For each room in your center, the following details are mirrored:
FieldDescription
Room nameThe display name shown in the dashboard
Workflow stepWhich exam step the room is assigned to (e.g. Listening, Reading & Writing or Speaking)
CapacityThe total number of seats in the room
StatusWhether the room is Active or Inactive
SeatsIndividual seat identifiers within the room
Room list showing LRW Room (20 seats), Speaking Room (18 seats), and Rest (2 seats), each with status, capacity, and 14-day distribution

Adding a room

Open the center overview

Navigate to the center from the Centers list and open its Overview page.
2

Click + Add Room

In the Rooms section at the bottom of the overview, click + Add Room.
3

Configure the room

Enter:
  • Room name — the label that will appear in dashboards and session views
  • Workflow step — select which exam step this room serves
  • Capacity — the number of seats to initially allocate
4

Save

Click Confirm. The new room and its seats appear immediately in your center, and a sync to partner organizations begins automatically.

Editing a room

1

Locate the room

On the center Overview page, find the room in the Rooms list.
2

Click the room name to open its detail view, then click Edit.
3

Update details

You can change the room name, workflow step assignment, capacity, or status.
4

Save

Click Confirm. Changes sync to partner organizations automatically.
Updating a room’s capacity does not automatically change the number of seat records. If you increase capacity, add new seats manually. If you reduce capacity, remove the extra seats first before lowering the room capacity.

Removing a room

1

Locate the room

On the center Overview page, find the room you want to remove.
2

Delete the room

Click the trash icon next to the room name.
3

Confirm deletion

Confirm the action when prompted. The room is removed from your center and the partner organization’s copy is updated accordingly.
Removing a room from your center also removes it from partner organizations on the next sync. If candidates are booked in that room on the partner side, those bookings are not automatically cancelled or reassigned. Coordinate with your partner organization before removing rooms that have upcoming sessions.

Seat management

Seats are the individual positions within a room. They carry an identifier (for example, seat-1, seat-2) and are synced along with the room they belong to.

Room map view

The Room map button on the center overview opens a visual floor plan of your rooms and seats. This view is also available to partner organizations and reflects your current configuration.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The room name is a synced attribute. The partner organization sees the updated name after the next sync.
No. Room configuration is managed exclusively by your organization (the source). The partner organization’s copy reflects only what you have configured. Any local additions on the partner side may be overwritten on the next sync cycle.
The workflow step change is synced as a configuration update. Existing scheduled slots in the partner organization are not automatically cancelled. Review upcoming capacity slots in coordination with your partner if a workflow step reassignment would affect scheduling.
When you save a room change, your center’s status briefly shows Syncing. Once it returns to Active (or its previous status), the sync is complete and the partner organization’s copy has been updated.
