Hi @MollyE, I was confused by this for a while, too. What we eventually learned was that the "Meeting Room" code for Assignment Type is really only meant to be used with the Reservations layer and when the rooms are assigned to a workspace area. The Space Planner is setting them back to "none" because it sees they are not actually assigned to anything (in this case, a workspace area), and so it's trying to clean up your data for you during the merge. It doesn't look at that field as a room type attribute at all, it is only concerned with whether it is actively assigned or not to a person or workspace area. Personally, I think it should be called Assignment Status rather than Assignment Type, and the codes can be thought of as: Default More Like Office Assigned Office None Unassigned Office/Desk/Hotel/Meeting Room Hot Desk Assigned Hot Desk Hotel Assigned Hotel Meeting Room Assigned Meeting Room Not Assignable Not Assignable   Related (because we had similar confusion around it), the Reservation Method field only applies when using the built-in Reservations layer as well, and has no purpose if you are integrating with Office 365 for reservations. Initially we wanted to do that same thing as you and tried to make the Assignment Type field multi-purpose and use it as an attribute field for room type, but I would recommend relying on the USE_TYPE field instead and letting the Assignment Type field be handled entirely by the Space Planner app (apart from your initial floor set-up, anyway). Trying to manually calculate any value there other than 'none' or 'not assignable' will lead to conflicts with Space Planner. In our case, our meeting rooms are not restricted to reservation by specific teams, so we just have them all set to "not assignable" for now. In terms of symbolization—in the Space Planner app we have Units symbolized based on Assignment Type because we only wanted to highlight desk/office availability, and so the meeting rooms are just white along with all the other common areas (corridors, bathrooms, etc.). In the Viewer app, where our folks do want to see the meeting rooms more easily so they can book, we're symbolizing based on the USE_TYPE, and we have a couple of different values for meeting rooms types (conference, enclave) that are then merged together in the Map Viewer Style options as one "Meeting Room" type, so that they only show up as one listing in the legend.  Hope that helps ...
