The Rooms tab provides an overview of all rooms that have been added to the PADS4 Workspace Module. From this tab, you can add, remove, and modify rooms as needed.

Adding a Room

To add a room to the PADS4 Workspace module, you can choose from two options:

Import Rooms

This option queries the connected calendar (e.g., Microsoft Exchange) to retrieve room resource information. Once the query is complete, a list of available rooms will be shown, allowing you to select which rooms to add to the system.

Manual Room Creation

You can also manually create a room that is not part of the connected calendar by selecting the manual creation option. Create a Room Screen
