SIS 2000+ Classroom Editor

The Classroom Editor defines classroom attributes for a school site, such as room numbers, building, classroom type, and seating capacity. The list of classrooms defined here will appear as selections in the Classroom field in the Section/Segments Information screen when scheduling a course section in the Master Schedule Editor. A classroom must first be defined in the Classroom Editor before it can be referenced by any other Scheduling program.

Prerequisite: the target school site must be defined in the SIS 2000+ database using the School Editor program and the user must be logged on to that school site or the District Office.

From the SIS 2000+ Main Menu select the Schedule icon button. From the Schedule Menu select the Classroom Editor icon button. The opening screen (Fig. 1) of the Classroom Editor lists, in the read-only mode, all classrooms defined for the school site, sorting them in ascending numerical/alphabetical order according to the Room number code in the left column. Use the scroll bar, if necessary, to view the entire list
