Room status determines whether a room is available for scheduling, capacity planning, and candidate seat allocation. This article explains how to change the status of a room in the In-Center workflow.

​
What Is Room Status?

Each room in a center can be marked as:
  • Active – The room is available for scheduling, seat allocation, and candidate assignments.
  • Inactive – The room is temporarily unavailable for new bookings but retains historical data and existing records.
Changing a room’s status helps manage operational availability without deleting the room.

​
Steps to Change Room Status

​
Step 1: Navigate to the Center

  1. Go to the Centers dashboard.
  2. Click on the relevant Center Name.
  3. You will land on the Overview tab.

​
Step 2: Locate the Room

  1. In the Rooms section, find the room whose status needs to be updated.
  2. Click on the room row or open the three-dot (⋮) action menu.

​
Step 3: Update the Status

  1. Select Edit Room (if applicable).
  2. Locate the Room Status field.
  3. Change the status:
    • Select Active to make the room available.
    • Select Inactive to temporarily disable it.

​
Step 4: Save Changes

Click Save to apply the updated status. The room status will immediately reflect in the Rooms list.

​
Important Considerations

  • Deactivating a room does not delete it.
  • Rooms with ongoing or upcoming sessions should be reviewed carefully before deactivation.
  • Always verify that no critical exams are scheduled before changing the status.
  • Status changes take effect immediately after saving.

Best Practice

Before marking a room as Inactive:
  • Review upcoming slots in the Capacity tab.
  • Inform relevant stakeholders (proctors, center admins).
  • Ensure candidates are reassigned if required.
