Setting Up Hallway Max Capacity
To set this up simply click the Options button on your rooms page and go to Hallway Max Capacity.
Select the number you wish to set as your Hallway Max Capacity
Note: The term "hallway" here to refer to all of the hallways in your building. For example, if you set the “Max Hall Passes” to 10, only 10 students will be allowed to generate a hall pass across the school at any given time.
Teachers will always be able to override this feature when circumstances require this.
When the Hallway Max Capacity Limit is reached, students are told to make a pass at a later time, and are not placed into a line. If you are looking to utilize Wait In Line it is recommended you raise your hallway max, and ensure you have max passes to your popular destination rooms set appropriately.
