Purpose of Report

The Section Room Hour Usage by Building and Room for Selected Date Range report shows total room hours used for sections for a selected date range by building and room (broken out by courses in that room). Utilization calculations are based on the number of room hours used compared to the standard room hours for the date range (entered as a user parameter). The date parameters allow a user to include all section meetings scheduled during a specified date range.

Definition of User Defined Parameters

Enter Campus - Allows a user to filter data to a specific campus.

 

Date Parameters - Allows a user to specify a date range. Only section meetings scheduled during the date range are included in the report.

 

Enter Standard Hours in Date Range - This parameter allows a user to enter the total number of standard hours for the specified date range. For example, if choosing to view the report for the month of January (Jan 1 - January 31), a user would enter the total number of hours a room could typically be used. In this example, if an expected usage of each room would be 40 hours per week, the total standard hours entered would be 160 (40 hours for four weeks). This number is then used in the Room Hour Utilization calculation (Room Hours / Standard Week).

Definition of Report Fields

Building-Room - Lists the Building and Room code of each room used on the selected campus.

 

Subject / Course - Lists the Subject and Course codes of the section meetings scheduled in each room.

Room Hour Utilization - Percentage of the standard hours used. The standard hours are entered as a user defined parameter when the report is run. (Room Hours / Standard Hours).
