Derived Room Data
When a Room is linked to a Room Template, all of its initial Room Data values are obtained from the Template. Suppose there are 50 offices connected to a Template, but one of them has slight deviations from the Room Template. In such cases, disconnecting the Room from the Room Template is not desirable since the Room is still largely similar to the Template (e.g. 97%). Instead, a Derived Room Data status can be created to allow unique changes to the Room Data of that specific Room while still obtaining Room Data from the Room Template. Thus, the Room will hold a combination of Room Data, some coming from the Room Template and some added/edited uniquely to the Room.
