Manual Assignments allow an administrator to create an individual facility assignment for a patron. When selecting a facility for the assignment, ResCenter creates a contract item for the assignment and tracks availability and occupant information.
When assigning a patron, the assignment can be completed manually or with assistance. Assigning a patron manually requires searching for a facility. Assigning a patron with assistance uses the batch configurations used in Automatic Assignments to help make the best match. However, assigning a patron with assistance can only be completed with an automatic assignment batch defined for that purpose (i.e. the Use for Assisted Assignment option must be enabled).
Note: Room Changes and Space Swaps are performed via the Patron > Contracts tab.
