To effectively use the Schedule25 Optimizer, you should define and prioritize the partition preferences of each organization whose classes and/or events are to be placed in rooms by the Optimizer. The Optimizer uses these partition preferences to focus its room search on the specific campus locations preferred by departments and organizations.

You can define as many as four campus partition preferences for each organization. Each preference can include one or more partitions from your Location Partitions master definition. (See “Location master definitions”.)

You also prioritize each of the partition preferences you’ve defined for an organization to let the Optimizer know the organization’s first, second, third, and fourth choice partition preferences in order of preference.
