In addition to setting capacity sizes to student locations, such as restrooms and water fountains, you’re also able to set the maximum number of hall passes allowed at any given time at your school.

Setting Up Hallway Max Capacity
To set this up simply click the Options button on your rooms page and go to Hallway Max Capacity.
We use 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. Once this limit has been reached, students will not be able to generate new passes until an existing one has been deactivated or expired.
Teachers will always be able to override this feature when circumstances require a student to exit class immediately. If a student is being limited from creating a pass due to the “Hallway Capacity” being reached, have a teacher create a pass for that student to get where they need to go.
This feature has been extremely useful to many school districts who struggled to manage the crowd flow within the school premises. It also ensures a balanced distribution of students across various facilities at any given time.
FAQ
How do I balance my Hallway Max Capacity with my Room Max Capacity?
Room Max capacity will help you more directly control which areas have X number of students. This will help you not have to select such a low number for your Hallway Max. By using too low of a number for your Hallway Max you may prevent a student from asking for a pass to see a nurse or counselor.

Hallway Max Capacity is the max capacity for all passes in all of your halls, it cannot be separated by area. Consider using your room max capacities to help here!
Do all passes count towards my Hallway Max Capacity?
