Use the Building Definition section to enter and update information about your institution’s buildings.

Fields Descriptions
Campus Campus where the building is located. Choices come from the Campus Validation (STVCAMP) list.
Site Site location, within a campus, where the building is located. If you identify the site for a building, you can query by site on the Building Filter (SLABQRY) page. Choices come from the Site Validation (STVSITE) list.
Capacity Normal capacity of the building.
Maximum Absolute maximum capacity of the building. Enter this value if extra people, over the normal capacity, can be assigned to the building. This value comes from the Capacity field in this window. It can be changed.
Gender Radio group that indicates gender restrictions for the building.

Choices are:

Male-The building is available to males only. Females and persons of unknown gender cannot be assigned to any room in the building. This value is stored in the database as M.

Female-The building is available to females only. Males and persons of unknown gender cannot be assigned to any room in the building. This value is stored in the database as F.

Not Applicable (default)-The building is available to males and females. You can change the gender restriction on any room in the building on the Room Definition (SLARDEF) page.

College College that has primary responsibility for operating and maintaining the building.

This college is automatically assigned to each room in the building. If necessary, you can change the college for individual rooms on the Room Definition (SLARDEF) page.

Choices come from the College Validation (STVCOLL) list.

Department Department, within the college, that has primary responsibility for operating and maintaining the building.

This department is automatically assigned to each room in the building. If necessary, you can change the department for individual rooms on the Room Definition (SLARDEF) page.

Choices come from the Department Validation (STVDEPT) list.

Partition Defines an appropriate partition code for the building and provides a means to group rooms for scheduling purposes. Valid values come from the Scheduling Partition Validation (GTVPARS) page.

This partition code will default to the room when new entries are created on SLARDEF. If the partition code is changed, it will not affect existing room definitions but will be reflected in any new room records that are created.

  • If all rooms in a building are considered one partition, then the partition code could be defined at the building level, rather than at the individual room level, to save data entry.
  • If a building is divided into several partitions, the partition code should not be assigned to the building but should be entered for the individual rooms.
  • If the majority of rooms within a building constitute one partition, you can record the partition on the building and override the applicable code for rooms not considered part of the “building” partition.

The auto scheduling extract process reads the partition from the room definition. If a partition code is not established on the room record, the partition code defined on this page will be retrieved.

Room Rate Rate charged for each room in the building. If necessary, you can change the rate for individual rooms on the Room Definition (SLARDEF) page. Choices come from the Room Rate Code Validation (STVRRDC) list.
Phone Rate Telephone rate charged for each room in the building. If necessary, you can change the rate for individual rooms on the Room Definition (SLARDEF) page. Choices come from the Phone Rate Code Validation (STVPRCD) list.
