Questions about the room schedule

What does someone see when they scan it?

The class or meeting on in the room right now, with its time, and the rest of the day’s room schedule. It opens as a web page in the phone’s browser, so nobody needs an app to read it.

Can I tell whether the room is free right now?

You can tell whether it is booked: the scan shows whether a class or meeting is on now and when the next one starts. That is room availability as the calendar knows it, so a group using the room without a booking will not appear.

Can students check a classroom schedule this way?

Yes: a code beside each classroom door shows that room’s classes for the day, with their times, so a student can check the room before walking in and a teacher can see when no class is booked there.

Do we need a screen at every door?

No screen at all. Your organization prints or engraves each room’s code on the room’s own sign: a metal or acrylic plate beside a classroom door, or the sign on a meeting room’s glass wall. A QR code door sign has nothing to plug in, charge or update.

Can people book the room from the code?

No. A scan shows the schedule; bookings stay in the calendar or timetable your organization already uses, made the way they are made today. There is no check-in at the door either.

Where does each room’s schedule come from?

You choose one of three ways for each room: a calendar link (an iCal or ICS feed your calendar publishes), a weekly timetable you type in, or a spreadsheet (CSV) of classes you import. A calendar link is read again on its own, so changes made in the calendar show up at the door.
