On the pop-up window, select the Function Type that will be applied to all Functions that you are about to create.  Please note that Function Types must first be created on the "Functions" page prior to mass creating Functions.  Please see Add New Function Types.

Then, select a date for the Functions you are intending to create.  Select the "Add" button to add the date to the list below.  Select a start and end time for the Functions.  The end time will automatically calculate based on the duration set for the Function Type.  However, you can override the duration and adjust the length.  Select the "Continue" button to choose Rooms (Fig. 3).

For the above example, all Functions created using this tool will be Board Meetings on October 23, 2027, from 9:00AM to 12:00PM.  On the next step, you will assign new Functions to the Rooms.

On this step, assign new Functions you are creating to Rooms.  Rooms will be bucketed by assigned Buildings, and will display the Room Type, capacity and description, if these items have been added and assigned to the Room.  Please note that Rooms MUST be added to the "Setup" page to use the Mass Create Functions tool.  Please see Add New Rooms.  A new Function will be created for each room that you select on this page.  Once all Rooms have been selected, select the "CREATE FUNCTIONS" button (Fig. 4.
