A **lab room** is a map of a computer room in your school or centre. Linking a test or exam to a lab room lets you give students seats and keep each student on their own computer. Open **Computer Lab → Lab Rooms** (centres: **Lab Allocation**).

## Creating a lab room

1. Click **New Lab Room**.
2. Enter the **Lab Name**, such as Computer Lab A, and an optional description.
3. Enter the number of **Rows** and **Columns** of the grid.
4. Click **Create & Open Editor**, and lay out the seats. See [Laying out a lab room](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-surepass/article/sp-laying-out-a-lab-room.md).

## Managing lab rooms

Each room shows its grid size and its numbers of seats and empty cells.

- **View Lab**: the room as it is now. See [Viewing a lab and locating a computer](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-surepass/article/sp-viewing-a-lab.md).
- **Edit Layout**: change the seats.
- **Edit Details**: rename it, or set it **Active** or not. Inactive rooms cannot be chosen for new schedules.
- **Delete Lab**: removes the room and all its seats.
