Standard Room Names ensures consistent room naming across your Innomesh environment by validating room names against an approved list from an external data source. When a room is created with a non-standard name, Innomesh can suggest the correct name or raise an alert. This feature was introduced in Innomesh v3.5.2.
How It Works
Innomesh imports an approved room name list from an external source (e.g., a facilities management system, CSV file, or API). When users create or rename a room in Room Manager, the entered name is checked against this list.
| Mode | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Suggestion | The user sees a list of suggested room names from the approved list. They can select one or proceed with a custom name. A “Non-Standard Room Name Detected” alert is raised if they proceed with a non-standard name. |
| Enforcement | The user must select a room name from the approved list. Custom names are not permitted. |
Configuration
- Navigate to Administration > Room Naming in Innomesh Portal.
- Enable Standard Room Names.
- Configure the data source:
- CSV upload: Upload a CSV file containing the approved room names
- External sync: Connect to an external system via the Data Sync feature
- Select the mode (Suggestion or Enforcement).
- Click Save.
User Experience in Room Manager
When creating a new room, the Room Name field shows suggestions from the approved list as the user types. If the user enters a name not in the list:
- In Suggestion mode: A warning banner displays “Non-Standard Room Name Detected” but the user can proceed
- In Enforcement mode: The form prevents submission until a standard name is selected
📝 Note
Existing rooms with non-standard names are not retroactively affected. The validation applies only when creating new rooms or renaming existing ones.
