Please could it be made possible to be able to 'block' out seats on a room configuration so that candidates can't be seated in them when creating a seating plan? Currently the only option for room configurations seem to be a complete grid, there is no allowance for more flexible arrangements. For example in one of our exam rooms, which is a 4x9 grid, the back row actually only has two desks in the room - one on either side as the middle two are where the door is and desks are not there to allow for students entering and leaving the room. The front row is actually only 2 desks also, as they are double desks for word processors. I have to manually remember NOT to seat anyone in the seats that are not actually there and it gets very confusing on the day with desk numbers and if/when I forget and accidentally put someone in a seat that doesn't exist!
If they could be 'blocked out' in some way on the rooming configuration so they didn't get allocated a seat number and couldn't be used to seat candidates that would be very helpful!
This is already possible in the 'Add Room Configuration' section. On step 2 the seats are initially all shown as open and green but can be blocked by clicking on them. They then change to red.
