Edit Building

Screen Description

The Edit Buildings screen provides interface for editing an existing building.


Details

  • Name
    • Name of the building
  • Abbreviation
    • Building abbreviation
  • External ID
    • External ID of the building (optional)
  • Coordinates
    • X and Y coordinates of the building (used in calculating distances between buildings)
      • Distance between two buildings is computed as Euclidean distance between coordinates × 10 meters (e.g., distance between coordinates [0,0] and [3,4] is 50 meters)
      • Coordinates cannot be negative
      • A building with no coordinates is assumed to be too far from any other building (for instructor and student back-to-back constraints)

Note: If you do not have coordinate system established, entering the same coordinates (e.g., [0,0]) for all buildings will ensure that there will be no "too far" instructor and student back-to-back constraint violations in the problem.


Operations

  • Update (ALT+U)
    • Save changes and go back to the Buildings screen
  • Delete (ALT+D)
    • Delete building (including all its rooms) and go back to the Buildings screen
