<p align="right"><a href="#top">Top</a></p>
<h5><a name="my_reservations" id="my_reservations"></a>My Reservations</h5>

<h4><a name="using_the_scheduler" id="using_the_scheduler"></a>Using the Scheduler</h4>
<p>The scheduler is where you can perform all resource scheduling functions.
The week displayed begins with the current week and extends for 7
(default)
days. Here you can view resource schedules, reserve resources, and
edit your current reservations. Reservations will be color coded and
all will be shown, but only <i>your</i> reservations
will provide a link to edit the reservation. All other reservations
will only provide a link
to
view them.</p>
<p>You can change schedules (if more than one exist) using the pull down
menu at the top of each schedule.</p>
<p>The system administrator can specify times that are "blacked out",
or determined to be unavailable by the admin. Reservations will not
be placed if they conflict with a blackout time.</p>
<p align="right"><a href="#top">Top</a></p>
<h5><a name="read_only" id="read_only"></a>Read-Only
Version</h5>
<p>If you have not yet registered or logged in, you can view a read-only
version of the schedule by clicking on the "Read-Only Schedule" link
on the login page. This version of the schedule will show you all resources
and reservations, but you will not be able to see any details about
them nor will you be able to place reservations.</p>
<p align="right"><a href="#top">Top</a></p>
<h5><a name="making_a_reservation" id="making_a_reservation"></a>Making
a Reservation</h5>
<p>To reserve a resource, first navigate to the table for the day you
wish to make the reservation on. Once you have located the table for
the
requested day, click on the resource name. This will bring up a pop-up
window where you can select the start and end days (if allowed) and
times you wish to reserve the selected
resource for.</p>
<p>There will be a message below the time selection informing you of
how long a reservation for this resource can be. If your reservation
is greater than or less than this allowed time, it will not be accepted.</p>
<p>You can also select if you want to repeat this reservation. To repeat
a reservation, select the days you want it to repeat on, then select
the duration you want to have the reservation repeat for. The reservation
will be made for your initially selected day, plus all the days you
selected as repeats. All dates that could not be reserved because of
a reservation conflict will be listed. If you are creating a multi-day
reservation, the repeat options will not be available.</p>
<p>You can add a summary of this reservation by filling out the summary
text box. This summary will then be available for all other users to
read.</p>
<p>After setting correct beginning and ending days/times for the
reservation and selecting if you want the reservation to repeat, press
the "Save" button.
A message will appear if the reservation was not successful, informing
you of the date(s) that were not successful. If not successful, go
back and edit the requested times so that they
do not
overlap with another
current
reservation. After your reservation has been successfully made, the
schedule will automatically refresh. This is required to reload all
reservation information from the database.</p>
<p>You cannot reserve a resource for a date that has passed, for a resource
that you have not been given permission to use or for a resource
that is currently inactive. These resources will be grayed out and
will
not
provide
a
reservation link.</p>
<p align="right"><a href="#top">Top</a></p>
<h5><a name="modifying_deleting_a_reservation" id="modifying_deleting_a_reservation"></a>Modifying/Deleting
a Reservation</h5>
<p>There are multiple ways to modify or delete a reservation. One is
from <a href="#my_control_panel">My
Control Panel</a> as described above. The other is through the online
scheduler. As previously noted, only you will be able to modify
your
reservations. All other reservations will be shown, but will not provide
a link to edit them.</p>
<p>To edit a reservation through the scheduler, simply click on the
reservation you wish to change. This will bring up a pop-up window
very similar to the Reservation window. You have 2 choices;
you
can either modify the starting and ending times of the reservation,
or you can click the "Delete" check box.
After making your modifications, press the "Modify"
button at the bottom of the form. Your new options will be evaluated
against current reservations and a message will appear letting you
know
the status of your modification. If you need to change times, go back
to the modification window and select new times which do not overlap
other reservations. After your reservation has been successfully modified,
the schedule will automatically refresh. This is required to reload
all reservation information from the database.</p>
<p>To modify a group of recurring reservations, check the box labeled
"Update all recurring records in group?". Any conflicting dates
will be listed.</p>
<p>You cannot edit a reservation for a date that has passed.</p>
<p align="right"><a href="#top">Top</a></p>
<h5><a name="navigating" id="navigating"></a>Navigating the Scheduler</h5>
<p>There are many ways to navigate to dates in the scheduler.</p>
<p>Move week by week using the "Previous Week" and "Next Week" links
at the bottom of the scheduler.</p>
<p>Jump to any date by entering it in the form at the bottom of the scheduler.</p>
<p>Bring up a navigational calendar by clicking the "View Calendar" link
at the bottom of the scheduler. Find your desired date and click on
it to move the scheduler to that date.</p>
