Why events become impossible to place
Here are some reasons why an event may become impossible to place:
• There is no location in the partition preferences of the event’s sponsoring organization, or the event itself, that has the location features required by the event. For example, if an event prefers to be in the South Campus partition and requires a map of Spain, and no locations included in the Optimizer run in the South Campus partition have a map of Spain, the event is impossible to place.
Remember: The Optimizer treats location feature preferences as requirements that must be met for placement.
• An erroneous expected head count has been entered (for example, 2000 instead of 200). If no location exists with a seating capacity of 2000, the event is impossible to place.
• The only logical and valid location for an event is blacked out or has already been pre-assigned to another event on the same dates and times. Under these conditions, the Optimizer doesn’t see the location in its inventory, and the event is impossible to place.
• The event is so small that it doesn’t meet the minimum fill ratio or so large that it won’t fit in any location that is acceptable to the organization sponsor.
• If the “Sum Cross-Listed Enrollments” setting is checked and the sum of a cross-listed set is larger than the capacity of any location in the sponsoring organization’s preferred partition(s), the cross-listed records are impossible to place.
• Something is illogical in the sponsoring organization’s information. This may be the problem if all the events for one organization are in the Impossible to Place list.
