- Go to Hours in Open Room.
- In the hours function, set all rooms to be open 24 hours for the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday between dead and finals week.
- In the cleaning function, set all rooms to be "cleaned" (closed) from 3 AM - 10 AM for the Friday and Saturday between dead and finals week.
- This is a good time to also set the cleaning hours for the rooms for dead and finals week.
- Double check your work by looking at the schedule on those dates on the Front Page.
Setting Summer Hours
During the summer, when things are quieter, we unlock the 5th floor study rooms using the auto unlock feature in Schlage SMS. If a patron finds a 5th floor room empty, they are allowed to use it without checking out a key for as long as they want. 5th floor rooms cannot be reserved ahead of time. Only 1st floor rooms. To prevent someone from placing an advanced reservation for a 5th floor, we need to make them unavailable (or closed) in Open Room.
- Before you open the rooms for summer term, set 5th floor to be "closed" all of summer term using the "Hours" function in the Admin panel.
- Then adjust the dates of the "all rooms closed" hours setting. It should be the line of set hours on the page. Start date should be the day after summer term ends. End date should be about 3 years out.
