Viewing room and equipment calendars
This video shows how to create calendar groups and how to view room and equipment reservations.
Booking a room or computers
This video shows how to book a room, but reserving computers works the same way. The video also demonstrates adding an attendee to the reservation, which is optional, of course.
Modifying a reservation
This video shows how to cancel a meeting, but a similar method can be used to modify it. For example you could add people, equipment, or other rooms to the meeting.
Who’s in charge of booking?
You are in charge of your own booking! However, there may be times when a booking will need to be canceled or changed for a special event, and in this case, these alteration would fall on designated "room admins". These are:
This can be changed (see next question). For example, it may make more sense to make Brent, Misty and/or Julie as admins to the small and large conference rooms. Room admins are the only ones who can revoke bookings by other members (but, you can always cancel your own booking!).
How do we change which rooms and equipment show up in the options?
Send a request/permission for a workorder through Adriane that will be sent to Janet.[1] Basically, before we make a resource bookable, we need to make sure it can be done (you know, in case any of you had the idea of making a bathroom or Gian’s office bookable).
Notes
By booking rooms and equipment, you create a meeting in your calendar and the resource’s calendar.
Use the "Required" field ("Invite Attendees" through the browser) when booking anything. If it’s a room, it’ll be added to "Location" automatically.
