How to Use Room Features With the Course Optimizer

The optimizer can use a room's features when determining which room to assign to a course. The optimizer will use the instructor's preferred features or the features specified on a course when determining a room assignment.

Overview

The optimizer can use features when it assigns a room to a course. Features can be set at the instructor level or the course level; however, course-level features will take precedence over the instructor's preferred features.
