# ◾ RNSA - How to Reserve a Room Without Scheduling

:::info
What does RNSA mean?

**RNSA** stands for **Running Non-Scheduled Activity**.

:::

## Why use the RNSA setup?

  
With the **RNSA** setup, recording can be **entirely manual (**[**from SRV**](/doc/single-room-view-PjnKvAlGex) **or** [**CO**]()**)** or [**controlled by**]() **user actions** on the [**workstations**](/doc/41653bdd-166c-42c5-afd5-4da9c4cc5603) assigned to the Activity. 

:bulb: Any running Activity can be assigned to a room in the [**Rooms**](/doc/rooms-tab-ps5MTFHIAS) tab in the [**System**](/doc/system-manager-ar9EDnlVcL).  
 You can specify the [Case](/doc/case-manager-QdAIr4bLwJ) immediately, but it is **not** necessary; you can address it later.


:::tip

1. If you **do not want your learners to rotate** on a strict **schedule,** use the **RNSA** setup. Plan ahead and **reserve a room** for your chosen Activity.
2. If you would like to **hide camera views from your** [**Faculty **](/doc/privileges-wnjrx8qPWS)members, the best solution is to **use RNSA** in all the Rooms where you **do __not__ want them to access live view** (camera stream)**.** To do this, the selected Faculty members **should __not__ be members** of the Running Non-Scheduled Activity’s [**Faculty group**](/doc/groups-users-Opbhlc7dMF)**.**

Entering [**Recording**](/doc/recording-module-TQ1YnPoHOI), the **RNSA** setting will appear on the room's tab in [**Center Overview (CO)**](/doc/center-overview-co-YjriCVVct7) and in the **Record control** panel of the room if you continue to [**Single Room View (SRV)**](/doc/single-room-view-PjnKvAlGex).


:::info
***IMPORTANT:*** Video recordings are tied to the RNSA Activity/Case/Learner/SP if started by the user action, but not if started via the [**Recording**](/doc/recording-module-TQ1YnPoHOI) module or by the [**push button**](/doc/recording-module-TQ1YnPoHOI).  
See [How to Set Up User-Action-Controlled Video Recording](/doc/how-to-set-up-user-action-controlled-video-recording-jymJBufKpG).

:::


:::warning
***NOTE***: [Scheduled events](/doc/advanced-scheduling-6uw4GlWcNY) **always overwrite** RNSA.  
This means that recording will start and stop in a room according to the schedule - if one is present in that room simultaneously with the RNSA - and RNSA settings will be ignored by the system at that time.

:::

By setting up an **RNSA** in a room, you can continue setting up [**manually authorized workstations**](/doc/advanced-scheduling-6uw4GlWcNY) for the Activity.


:::tip
Find out more about **logging your users** into the system using **manually authorized workstations** [**here**](/doc/41653bdd-166c-42c5-afd5-4da9c4cc5603).
