Acting on records on the Not Placed tab
Contents of the Not Placed tab
The Not Placed tab contains the list of events the Optimizer couldn’t place due to competition for the same kind of location on the same days and times.
| It is recommended that you act on events in this list only after you’ve assigned locations to the events in the Suggested Assignments list, so you can easily see the event “winners” that prevented these events from being assigned. |
You may want to use page 2 of the Optimizer run report to see locations that are still available after the run as possible placements for some of these events. See
Optimizer run report.
To act on events on the Not Placed tab
1. Click the Not Placed tab.
2. Click an event in the list to open it in 25Live.
3. Determine why the event wasn’t placed. Check this information in particular:
• Dates and times: Each campus has “peak” or “prime” times during which the largest number of events are scheduled. The demand during these times often exceeds capacity. Review the event dates and times to determine if that might be the reason the event wasn’t placed. You may have locations available at these times, but not in the preferred partition(s) or containing the required features.
• Head count: Large events are often competing for only a few large locations, and average-sized events are often competing for a fixed inventory of average-sized locations. The fill ratio for some large locations might be preventing the event from being placed in a larger location.
4. Sign into 25Live.
5. Assign a location to the event manually.
Note: See the 25Live online help for information on assigning locations to events and modifying event information.
6. Repeat steps 2 - 5 for each additional event in the Not Placed tab.
