 Can we implement a change showing a rooms zone before potentially adding it to another zone. 
 I could have a hundred rooms split between 5 zones but every time I start a new zone in the manager it resets</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Zone Manager</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/720981?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Jul 2022 08:32:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e0aaf879-9376-472d-954a-0f1172e78acf</guid><dc:creator>Shane Regan</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Morning Amrit,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Absolutely, I will take care of this now for you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Should you have any future suggestions or queries on other workflows just let us know.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Zone Manager</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/720857?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jul 2022 15:36:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:896c7081-5994-489e-8d4e-3fa1ebdf4234</guid><dc:creator>Amrit Bhambra</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Shane,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the explanation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I believe the current format is sensible - could I suggest the addition of a filter option which shows the zones created as well as an option for no zone applied.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This way I would be able to distinguish which room(s) are in which zone(s).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My current issue is that having a large number of rooms means it is quite likely I may accidentally miss a room or put it in another zone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It would be much appreciated if you could log my suggestion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Amrit&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Zone Manager</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/720839?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jul 2022 14:58:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:0ba96adf-eaa1-4169-82e1-b47428df80bc</guid><dc:creator>Shane Regan</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Amrit,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many thanks for this - suggestions of improvements are always most welcome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In relation to your points, I would firstly just emphasise that the reason for this is that the zone manager allows you to enter a room into multiple zones.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is so, you can group rooms via any criteria you wish -&amp;nbsp; HVAC / lighting type / occupancy type / aspect / etc. This is so the rooms can be grouped to assign design criteria, and also easily be selected to run simulations/calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope that gives some insight into the reason for this? I can of course still log your suggestions with development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
