About Locations

A Location in 25Live can be any space we want to schedule. This is not restricted to spaces that are officially designated as a space on the floor plans or in AIM. There are Locations in 25Live that are parts of official spaces, so they can be scheduled separately. All spaces considered a schedulable space are added into 25Live based on information from the UAA Facilities software AIM. Please note that although these spaces are in 25Live it does not mean the department that has been given assigning authority over the space is using 25Live to schedule it.

Tips For Searching

If you know when the event needs to be start by creating your event and search for your Location during the creation of your event. The Location search in the event wizard will help you find a room that is available when you need it and fits the expected number of attendees for your event.

If you know the Location you want then it is easiest to do a Keyword search using a word that is in either the Location Name or Formal Name fields. If you are searching by what the room is called try not to be too specific. For example the Lyla Richards Conference Room in the Student Union I would search by "Lyla", this is short and should apply to very few rooms.

If you do not know what Location you want, try using the Advanced search options (Categories, Layouts, Features and Capacity) to narrow down your search. Make sure that if you select more than one from one of these lists that you set the appropriate criteria or that list, this is the All or Any setting. The criteria setting tells it to find Locations that meet either all or any of the items in the list the criteria is for. If you get no results from your search try removing some of the criteria, I would start with removing layouts first then features or changing capacities.

If you search from in the Event Wizard be aware of the two checkbox controlled filters under the search results box. The first one will make sure it only shows you Locations you have permissions to either request or assign. This includes not showing Locations hat are not available during the date and time of you selected. If you know the Location you want and it is not appearing in your search results, try unchecking this box. Then look at then hover your curser over the icon to the left of it and it will give a message as to why it why it is not available.
