Housing

The Housing module is used for Students who seek accommodation within the Educational Institution grounds.

Additionally, all Housing, Room Allocation, Housing Extra, and records related to Housing Module have no Names, but instead follow a sequence of automated generated numbers to keep track of records.

Column	Description
Student	The Student record that the Housing record will reference to. This can either be the Student's External ID or the Students Record ID. When doing Updates or Inserts, stick to a single chosen format every run.
Campus	The Campus record which the Housing record will reference to.
Building	The Facility record which the Housing record will reference to.
Apartment/Floor	The Facility (Apartment) record which the Housing record will reference to. Apartment also uses a Facility record but by referencing it to a Parent Facility record, it will be parked under that Facility record, to make it easier to keep track. Example:
Facility Sub-Type	Specify sub-type of the Housing record.
Status	Specify the status of the Housing record.
Arrival Date	The Students arrival date.
Departure Date	The Student's departure date from the Housing location.
External ID	Specify the External ID when upserting Housing records.

Room Allocation

Room Allocation is a Related List Object that can specify a Facility Room for the Housing record if needed. This has to reference a Housing record, so it is best to Insert this after extracting the Record Id for Housing.

Column	Description
Facility	Just like Apartment/Floor from Housing, this Facility record for Rooms can be parked under the Facility record for Apartment/Floor.  Example:
Housing External ID	Specify the Housing record the Room Allocation will be linked to.
Start Date	Start date of the Room Allocation.
End Date	End date of the Room Allocation.
Status	Specify the status of the Room Allocation record.

Housing Extra

Housing Extra are extra allowances that go with housing, like meal plans, parking, Housing fees, etc.
