Smarter, Sleeker, and More Flexible: Introducing the Updated Residential Allocator

At Intrinsiq, we continue to enhance the tools that support schools in managing accommodation with confidence and clarity. Our latest update introduces a refreshed, streamlined look for the Residential Allocator, making it easier than ever for accommodation teams to oversee placements and keep operations running smoothly. 

The redesigned interface now includes a flexible calendar view, giving users the option to switch between day, week, and month layouts. This makes it simple to visualise occupancy patterns, anticipate availability, and plan ahead with greater precision. 

To support faster decision-making, each student entry is now colour-coded in pink or blue depending on gender. At a glance, staff can determine whether a shared room is suitable when one bed is already occupied, helping ensure appropriate and compliant placements. 

Alongside the calendar, a right-hand panel displays all students awaiting placement, with the option to filter by those who are already assigned. This centralised list means no more switching between screens - everything you need is visible and easy to access in one place. 

We’ve also introduced new flexibility for complex placement scenarios. In situations where two incoming students wish to share, but no shared rooms are available, the system allows accommodation to be split. With the student’s consent, an existing resident can be moved to another shared room, freeing up the necessary space for the incoming pair. This level of adaptability helps schools respond quickly and creatively to changing needs. 

As always, accuracy and security are a priority. The system includes confirmation prompts before placing a student, splitting accommodation, or making any significant adjustments. These safeguards ensure that no changes are made accidentally, protecting both school operations and student experience. 

This latest update demonstrates our commitment to evolving alongside the needs of the international education sector. By refining the Residential Allocator with smarter visuals, improved usability, and greater placement flexibility, we aim to make your day-to-day accommodation management simpler, clearer, and more efficient than ever.
