Rooms
Rooms are one of SoloDB's two core resource records. A room connects a physical space to responsible users, access training, equipment, chemicals, reservations, projects, documents, labels, floor plans, and local configuration.
Open a room
Open Rooms → Room list, use search or filters, and select the room. The header shows whether you have access and whether the room is active. Depending on enabled modules and permissions, the detail page contains:
Tab | What it contains |
|---|---|
General | Name, code, site/building, department, purpose, tags, opening hours, contact details, enabled modules, properties, links, and totals. |
Responsible users | People assigned to room roles and whether their role participates in access approval. |
Mentors | Active room users who may guide a new user. |
Trainings | Open access requests and users waiting for or currently in training. |
Trained users | Active room users; authorised users can email this group. |
Documents | Room documents and downloads. |
Zone groups | Reservable or organisational subdivisions of the room. |
Chemicals | Chemical containers currently registered in the room. |
Equipment | Equipment, setups, reservations, and a combined room calendar. |
Other | Projects, floor plans, and inactive users. |
Some tabs only appear when the corresponding module is enabled for the room.
Room record
A room belongs to a building and has a name and code. Optional information includes department, purpose, tags, description, phone, location instructions, opening and closing time, training instructions, a printable label, and equipment properties that apply at room level. The status can be active, inactive, or deleted.
Opening hours can be informational or enforced for reservations. The supported policies are no enforcement, enforce the opening time only, or enforce both opening and closing times.
Access model
Room access is represented by a room-user status: waiting for training, in training, active, mentor, or inactive. The approval path is built from active responsible-user roles marked for the approval flow. If mentors are configured, the requester selects one and mentor acceptance occurs before the responsible-user flow.
Read Request room access for the complete workflow.
Physical subdivisions
The usual hierarchy is:
Zone groups provide a capacity and can supply inherited equipment properties. Zones can hold equipment and have their own recurring reservations. Locations identify storage or placement points for equipment and materials. See Room structure and Zones and reservations.
