This topic covers the terminology used for the rooms in the Meeting Room Management application:
-
Top-Level Room: The top-most room in the meeting room configuration. For example, a meeting and all its sessions are being held in the Washington Ballroom. The Washington Ballroom is the top-level room.
-
Sub-Room: A meeting room that is part of a larger room. For example, the Washington Ballroom is divided into two sides (East and West) for the meeting event. Ballroom East and Ballroom West are sub-rooms of the Washington Ballroom.
-
Parent Room: A room that has associated child rooms, but is not necessarily the top-level room. For example, Ballroom East (a sub-room of the top-level room Washington Ballroom) is divided into several sub-rooms (A, B, C, and D). In this case, Ballroom East would be the parent room of rooms A, B, C and D.
-
Child Room: A room that is a child room of another room. For example, Ballroom East is divided into several sub-rooms (A, B, C and D). Rooms A, B, C and D are child rooms of Ballroom East.
-
Sibling Room: A room that has the same parent as another room. For example, Ballroom East is divided into several sub-rooms (A, B, C and D). Rooms A, B, C and D are sibling rooms.
- Combo room or Combination Room: A set of meeting rooms in combination. For example, Ballroom East is divided into several sub-rooms (A, B, C and D). Certain meetings in this room may need a combination of these sub-rooms. For example, one meeting may need to use sub-rooms A and B, where another meeting may need to use sub-rooms C and D. In this case, a virtual room could be created (called Room A +B) combining rooms A and B into a combo room and another combo room could be created called C+D combining rooms C and D into another combo room.
