Suggest and swap rooms When there is a conflict
Often users are requesting recurring events and the room they want is not available every occurrence. Even with recent changes where users can "include only missing locations", there is still no easy way to swap out this location with one that IS available. I suggest that there be a feature that easily and clearly guides the user to add a location to date that does not have one (or is in conflict). The system should be able to suggest other locations that meet their criteria and are available in a much more simple way. Also, why does the current system allow "include only missing locations" on the "view all occurrences" associated with the repeating pattern feature, but not with the "view occurrences" associated with a location search? I am attaching an image that hopefully clarifies what I am trying to express.

Jason MAgreed and expanding: even in non-conflict, there may be a need to swap a room, e.g., I expected a larger group but it's smaller now so I need a smaller room. The processing for swapping a resource is cumbersome requiring multiple steps. There should be a swap button for the occurrence. Hitting swap should show a list of rooms that meet the needed criteria for the user to choose from. Currently you have to not include the room for the date, then go to the occurrence, show days without a location and search for a room.

Rosy NA related idea might be that when 25Live detects conflicts, it gives us the option to (1) unhouse the room from its current event or (2) swap. The context I'm thinking of would be geared toward academic class events that get imported from PeopleSoft, using 25Live to house the class sections, then export the room information back to PeopleSoft. For the developers, I've attached a video (ticket # 47357).

MossThis would be great! A lot of the students that schedule are intimidated by the search feature and expect this feature to already exist.
