Set per-class capacity limits for unequal classrooms

Not every classroom has the same capacity. Resource rooms, inclusion classes, and co-taught sections may have different approved limits. Use per-class capacity limits to record those limits rather than applying one number to every destination room.

Set individual classroom capacities

• Per-class max students: set an individual student limit on any class. Classes without a custom limit still use the global default from Assignment Settings.
• Capacity overflow warnings: the Constraint Health panel now alerts you if total class capacity can't fit all your students, before you generate.
• Class notes: add optional notes to any class (room numbers, session times, co-teacher names) visible directly in the class list.

In this example, a custom limit replaces the global default for that room; it is not added to it. A 73rd student creates a one-seat total gap. Even with 72 students, 21 required placements into A would exceed A's limit. Do not raise a cap merely to clear a warning unless the school has approved the actual room and staffing capacity.

Plan the totals with the class size calculator and see the 72-student worked placement for a before-and-after check. Class notes record context; they do not enforce extra placement rules.

Getting started

Open your dashboard, navigate to any yearly class, and head to the Classes tab. Edit any class to set a per-class capacity. For the full setup guide, see the Classes documentation.
