Resource Scheduling
Many of the resources at TinkerMill can be scheduled for use by TinkerMill members. All of the scheduling is done through google calendars and is visible by TinkerMill members only. The calendar allows members to reserve time on equipment or rooms.
Scheduling guidelines
- Members should try to schedule their time on the machine as early in advance as possible.
- If a time slot is reserved by a member, it has priority over any other drop in users, even if the previous user is still using a machine.
- If a member who reserved a machine in advance is more than 15 minutes late to their session, they forfeit their priority.
- Any unscheduled time is considered drop in hours where anyone can drop in and use the equipment at their convenience.
How to View the Resource Calendars
You may go to TinkerMill Calendar and view any of the available calendars or chose from the links below for specific calendars.
- Equipment
- Rooms
How to Add a Calendar to your Personal TinkerMill Calendar
Being able to view a resource calendar on your own calendar can be a useful thing for knowing when equipment is reserved or not.
There are two ways to add a resource calendar to your personal calendar.
- Use the links above
- Easy way to add single calendars at a time.
- Through your own Calendar
- More useful for adding multiple calendars at once
Reserving Resource Time
From your personal TinkerMill calendar, you may reserve resource time the same way you would reserve a conference room.
- Create an event at the time that you would like to use the resource
- Click the event and select "Edit Event"
- On the left side of the screen, under "Add:" select "Rooms,etc."
- Select the resource you would like to reserve during that time. If the resource you would like to select does not show up, it means that it has already been reserved for that time and is not available.
