Scenarios — Mass operations

Mass assignments, advanced filters and automations to quickly manage classrooms, capacities and programs.

For the reading format and the status legend, see Scenarios — overview.

Mass-assign only the unassigned classrooms

As a planner, I want to mass-assign only the unassigned classrooms.

Status: ✓ Available

Solution in Omniscol. In the list view of the Timetable management screen, sort or filter the columns to isolate the lessons awaiting classroom, tick them, then run the automatic classroom assignment on the selection. Automatic generation also offers a classrooms-only mode: run while ignoring classrooms already assigned, it only completes the lessons that have none, without recalculating the placement.

Automatic classroom assignment

Mass-assign all classrooms with >115 seats for events

As a planner, I want to mass-assign all classrooms with >115 seats for events, so that classroom management is optimized.

Status: ✓ Available

Solution in Omniscol. Spot the large classrooms in the classroom statistics, where the search accepts capacity comparators (for example >115). Then select the lessons concerned in the list view of the Timetable management screen and run the automatic classroom assignment: in the selector of candidate classrooms, tick only the classrooms you want; each one's capacity is displayed to guide the choice.

Restrict classroom assignment to a building or a floor

As a planner, I want to restrict mass classroom assignment to a given building or floor, so that lessons are grouped in the same place and travel is limited.

Status: ✓ Available

Solution in Omniscol. In the automatic assignment, the selector of candidate classrooms groups classrooms by site then by building: tick a whole site or building to allow only its classrooms, and the algorithm picks among them. See Automatic classroom assignment.

Reassign classrooms based on actual headcounts

As a planner, I want to mass-reassign classrooms based on actual headcounts (electives, languages, groups), so that classroom size is adjusted to the number of enrolled students.

Status: ✓ Available

Solution in Omniscol. Isolate the lessons concerned in the list view (per-column sorting and filters), then run the automatic assignment: the algorithm compares each classroom's capacity with the lesson's headcount and keeps the smallest classroom that fits. See Automatic classroom assignment.
