How can I reserve rooms and schedule meetings?

Step 1. You can schedule meetings and reserve rooms in either of the following two ways:

• Click on "New Items" and then select Meeting from the drop down list.
• In the Calendar, double-click the time of day you want the Meeting to start.

Step 2. The Meeting Request window will open. You can write the subject and body of your email here. Record more information with each reservation: person reserving; purpose (class name, group meeting name), etc.

Then, click on the Scheduling Assistant tab.

Step 3. There are two sections of the left of screen, “Add Attendees” and “Add Rooms”, and the right hand side shows you busy or available time.

Step 4.

• Invite Attendees
  Enter the names of the attendees, if needed. Once all names have resolved against the Global Address List (they'll all become links you can click), you will see bars appear to the right indicating existing appointments/meetings.
• Finding a suggested time
  On the right side of the window, the "Suggested Times" area displays when participants and resources are free.
• Reserving a room
  Click on “Add Rooms”. This will bring you to a screen that will list all rooms. Double-click to select any rooms you wish. Enter multiple rooms to view their availability; Click ‘OK’.

You will now return to the “Scheduling Assistant” screen.

You can also edit the subject area of the Meeting request.

Step 5. Finally, this is how it should look like after you have added rooms and people.

Step 6. When you are finished, be sure to "Send" the reservation.

Step 7. Within 10 minutes, you should receive an acknowledgement email from the Room Resource saying "Your request was accepted". Other possible acknowledgements are "Your request is pending approval" or "Your request was rejected".

Step 8. Your room reservation is not complete until you receive an acknowledgement.
