![Add Remove Edit Room](https://support.vsware.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/Add%20Remove%20Edit%20Room.gif?width=688&name=Add%20Remove%20Edit%20Room.gif)

The list of rooms in the school should be kept up to date so that the timetable solver is able to allocate classes to specific rooms. It is not possible to create, remove or edit rooms in Timetable Construction. It must be carried out in the live system.

#### Step 1 - Adding a room

Go to Settings \> Rooms \> Actions \> Add Room.

#### Step 2 - Editing a room

To edit an existing room (add it to a pool, change the name, etc) double click the item you want to edit and it will open for editing. 

#### Step 3 - Deleting a room

To delete a room and it's associated data, click the red dustbin icon on the right.

 

When you are finished making changes, click anywhere on the screen and the changes will save automatically.

 

Changes made on this screen will be synchronised with any existing or newly created Timetable File.
