The steps, in writing.
For boarding schools. Under Administration, Hostels lists each hostel with its rooms, occupancy and warden. Add a room on the hostel's own page (its capacity is the number of beds, numbered for you), give a student a bed with Allocate Student, where Generate Hostel Fee puts the term's rate on the student's fees, and check a boarder out from View Allocations (checking out frees the bed but doesn't cancel a fee already billed). The student sees the room, bed, roommates, rules and fee under My Hostel.
Add rooms and beds
Open Hostels, select the hostel and add a room with its capacity and rates. Each bed is numbered.
Allocate the student
Choose an available bed and dates. Select Generate Hostel Fee when the allocation should also create the student’s bill, and confirm the amount.
Check a boarder out
Use Checkout with a note when the student leaves. The bed becomes available; an existing fee is not cancelled automatically.
Check the student view
The student opens My Hostel to see the room, bed and hostel fee.
