Open Room Quirks
Open Room gives precedence to special hours set for a room over the default hours. So if you give one room "closed" hours, Open Room will keep that room closed until whatever date you have set, even if you delete that hours function. You have to create a new hours function for those dates telling Open Room the room is now "open" again.
- This will affect cleaning hours, extended hours, etc.
- Set your cleaning hours and Extended Hours first each term. Then add in any closures you need to make.
Setting available hours for the term
...
- 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.
