Spaces in the EMS client can be made inactive and active for several reasons including but not limited to:

• The space becomes an assigned space rather than a reservable space.
• The space isn't available for reservation due to issues related to equipment, technology, other administrative use, etc. 
• The space is awaiting furniture, technology, etc. 

Note: Making a room inactive (rather than deleting it), is best practice and the inactive status will remove a room from a process template and for all users of related groups. For more information about these terms, review the EMS Administrative Terms document. 

Updating a Space Status to Inactive

After logging into the EMS desktop client: 

• After logging in to the EMS client, select the "Configuration > Facilities > Rooms" menu options.

• In the "Rooms" window:
  • Select the preferred "Building" from the drop-down menu near the top of the window.
  • Optional: Enter keyword text into the "Filter" field text box at the top right-hand area of the window to filter the resulting list by division/department name or space type (i.e. huddle, conference, workstation, etc.). 
  • Select/highlight the room to update.
  • Select the "Edit" button from the right-hand side of the window (which may take up to 20 seconds to load).

• Select/check the "Inactive" box in the lower left-hand corner of the "Rooms" tab.
• Select the "OK" button in the lower right-hand corner. 
• Select the "Yes" button in the pop-up "Remove References" confirmation window that appears. 

• The room is now inactive and will no longer appear on the list of rooms available in that building.
