Reservation Instructions

 

Viewing Room Reservations:

Click on the following link: Room Reservation System

 

Reserving A Room:

To reserve a room click on the room (Room 1, Room 2, etc.) for the desired day. A window will be displayed with some general information about the resource and a form by which you can reserve the resource. The window will look like this:

 



Upon clicking on a room (Room 1, Room 2, etc.) on the desired day, one of two things will happen: (1) if there are no reservations already placed for that day, a pop-up form will show the resource information and prompt you for reservation form information, or (2) if there is at least one reservation placed on that day, the daily schedule will be displayed, showing the timeslots and their availability.

 

Viewing Reservation Information:

Timeslots in which resources have been reserved (and are no longer available), in which reservations are pending, or in which a blackout is in effect, will be displayed in a different color from the open timeslots on the schedule displays.

If the General Settings --> Display Preferences setting for Restrict Viewing Reservation Details is set to "No", then anyone can find out specific information about a reserved time slot by clicking on the link (character, image or field info) that is located in the associated reserved time slot.

If the General Settings --> Display Preferences setting for Restrict Viewing Reservation Details is set to "Yes", then specific information about a reserved timeslot is limited to the general admin and resource admin (if one was specified). Clicking on the timeslot link that is locatedin the associated reserved timeslot will generate a pop-up password form. Use the general admin password or the resource admin override password to view the reservation details.
 

Modifying or Deleting a Reservation:

To modify or delete a reservation, click on the special character link that is located in the associated reserved time slot. Select "Modify" in the resulting display and then make any desired changes.

If a password was specified when the resource was originally reserved, then that password will also be needed before any "modify" or "delete" operations are performed.

If you attempt to delete a reservation which was created as a recurring event, a prompting message will be displayed asking if all of the associated recurring reservations should also be deleted:

  • If you choose "Yes", then all of the associated recurring reservations from the request date forward will also be deleted. Any associated recurring reservations which are earlier than the date of the delete request will remain in the system.

  • If you choose "No", only the one reservation on the date of the delete request will be deleted. All associated recurring reservations will remain in the system.

If a "Reservation Lead Time - Cancel" was specified in the resource configuration, then this time is taken into account when a reservation is deleted. If the time at which you requested a reservation cancellation (delete) is within the required cancellation lead time specified for the resource, the cancellation request will not be accepted.
