Undocumented classification

[tiferrei]

Hi there,
I've just noticed that there are some new(?) classifications that are not in the docs.
These are:

• TH
• CFE
• MR
• ER
• CF

What do these stand for?

Thanks,
Tiago

Very good question

[tiferrei]

@ChristopherHammond13 any clue what these could mean? I'd be happy to make a PR for the docs if you just list the meanings here.

Hey! Apologies for not getting back to this sooner. I have done some digging and will (hopefully soon!) be sent the data dictionary for the CMIS database that this talks to. With that I'll be able to fill in all the random bits of data we don't know.

Could you give me some example bookings that are coming up with these and I'll see what I can add from guess-work?

Sure thing, here are some examples:

MR - Marquee? is the only one I can get 🤔

[ChristopherHammond13]

MR - Marquee makes sense.
ER - Equipment room
I think all the classifications are here: https://roombooking.ucl.ac.uk/rb/bookableSpace/viewAllBookableSpace.html?invoker=EFD

[ChristopherHammond13]

Update: I'm currently updating the room bookings API to return a human-readable version of the room type (with the field classification_str) based on the data shown on the UCL Room Bookings site. Watch this space! :)

This has now been merged to Staging. The documentation has not been built yet because we're in the process of fixing up some issues with our documentation build environment but hopefully this will be in prod by the end of the week. Apologies for the exam delays!
