Scheduling an Event

 

If you have access as a Guest or registered user to schedule events online, you will see a link in the Main Menu titled Schedule Events (depending on your system's configuration, this link title may be different.) Upon submitting your event, the room reservation is automatically confirmed and your event may be viewable to other users.

 

 

To schedule an event:

  1. Click Schedule Events in the Main Menu. The Event Information page will be displayed.

Event Information

 

Note: Required fields are marked with a red asterisk.

  1. Enter a name, attendance estimate, event type and privacy level for the event. There are three options in the Privacy Level drop down menu: Public, Semi-Private, and Private. Generally, public events may be viewed by everyone, including guests and non-registered users. Semi-Private and Private events are often only visible to privileged, registered users.

  1. Choose a customer and then a contact person using the Customer and Contact drop down menus. If the customer and/or contact for whom you are scheduling the event are not listed in the drop down menus, their information may be added.

Add Meetings

 

  1. Click the Pick Rooms button to view and select available rooms. A list of all rooms will be displayed.

 

The list of rooms may be sorted and filtered to help you choose an appropriate room for your meeting(s). You may also view the details of a room by clicking the View button next to the room.

Rooms that are available for at least one of the meetings you have created will be marked with the Available label followed by the number of meetings for which the room is available. Rooms that are unavailable for any of your meeting(s) will be marked with the Conflict label or other labels indicating a reason for the room's unavailability.

  1. Choose a room that is available for at least one of your meetings by clicking the Select button next to the room. The Assign Room page will appear.

 

Assign this room to your meeting(s) by checking the box under the Assign column next to the meeting(s) or by clicking the Assign button. The building and room information will appear in Bldg and Room columns of the meeting to indicate the room assignment.

 

 

If the room is unavailable for a meeting, no checkbox will appear next to the room. Click the Select another room button to return to the room list and choose a different room to assign to the remaining meetings.

 

To remove a meeting's room assignment, simply uncheck the box next to the meeting or use one of the Unassign buttons. The unassigned meetings may then be reassigned after a different room has been chosen.

 

To remove a meeting, click the Delete button next to the meeting.
