Optimize Room Listings for Better User Experience
The Rooms menu in Cadence allows you to enhance how rooms are displayed and organized for your event attendees. Through the Rooms Menu › Settings section, you can implement several optimization strategies to make room selection more intuitive, helping users quickly find appropriate spaces while reducing confusion during the booking process.
When to use
When organizing a large number of rooms across multiple locations
When attendees need to quickly find specific types of meeting spaces
When you want to prioritize certain rooms in selection lists
When improving navigation for room booking interfaces
You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to optimize room listings. Changes to room display settings affect how rooms appear in both appointment booking and schedule item interfaces.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Click on "Event Setup" in the left sidebar menu.
Select "Rooms" from the dropdown menu.
Click the "Settings" tab at the top of the page.
Choose a sort order from the "Sort By" dropdown:
Alphabetical Order (default)
Custom Order
Select "Custom Order" if you want to prioritize important rooms at the top of lists.
Custom ordering is particularly useful for highlighting premium rooms or grouping rooms by location or purpose.
Use the drag handles (six dots) to reorder rooms when Custom Order is selected.
Changes to room order are not saved automatically. You must click the Save button to apply your changes.
Return to the main Rooms list by clicking the "Rooms" tab.
Implement consistent naming conventions for all rooms.
Use a format like "Building | Room Number | Floor" or "Purpose - Room Name" to help users quickly identify appropriate spaces.
Add descriptive details to room descriptions that highlight key features.
Upload clear photos of each room to help attendees recognize spaces.
Mark rooms on maps to help attendees locate them within your venue.
Group similar rooms together in your custom ordering to create logical sections.
Click "Save" to apply your changes.
Test the room listing experience by viewing it from the appointment booking interface.
Troubleshooting
If your custom room order is not appearing in the appointment booking interface, ensure that you've clicked the "Save" button after arranging the rooms in your desired order.
