Checking Availability of Rooms

There are various reports available that display which rooms are assigned to timetabled classes. There are however no reports that show which rooms are available at any given time. To check whether a room is available for a given time-range, follow the steps below.

The permissions 'BKG: EDIT' (edit room swaps for own classes) or 'BKG: EDIT ALL' (edit room swaps for all teachers classes) are required for the 'Room' tab to show under the 'Swap' option.
