12. Archibus | Recurring, Non-Regular Reservations
Creating a regular recurring room reservation is easy. When you are creating your Room Reservation, simply click Define Recurrence… in the top Filter Criteria section. Then select your Recurrence Pattern.
However, you may need to reserve for a meeting that recurs irregularly, or is sometimes in a different room or at a different time. In order to avoid having to create a whole new reservation for each meeting, you may simply copy your original reservation, and change only the details which are different for each subsequent meeting.
On the left-hand navigation pane,
choose View and/or Edit My Reservations

13. Archibus | Recurring, Non-Regular Reservations
Find your event in the reservations listings, and click the copy button.
Select the date of the next meeting in the recurrence. This copies all of the details from your original reservation onto the new event date.
If all other details (time, location, attendees, equipment, etc.) stay the same, then you are done. If you need to change details, locate the new event in your reservations list, and click the edit button.
This will bring you to the Edit Reservations window to change details.

14. Archibus | Viewing & Editing a Room Reservation
On the left-hand navigation pane, choose View and/or Edit My Reservations
In the list of reservations that appears, you may choose to:
View Details
Edit the reservation details (room, location, etc.)
Cancel the reservation
Copy the reservation to a new date.
If your event changes date, but all other details remain the same, copy the event to a new date and then cancel the original reservation.

15. Archibus | Troubleshooting
When creating a room reservation, you will need to enter a time for your event before you can select a room, even though you can leave the From and To fields blank when you first start. Leaving those fields blank allows you to see the existing reservations for the rooms in your location, but you’ll need to specify a time before selecting a room. You can enter a time by filling in the From and To fields, and clicking Apply Filter. You may also simply drag across the timeline for the room you would like to select. After a time is entered, you may use the radio buttons to select a room as usual.
Whenever you see an ellipsis in a field in Archibus, you will not be able to directly enter a value. You have to hit the ellipsis button, and then double-click to select the appropriate value from the list.
If you are unable to see any rooms, or are getting an error message, you should hit the Clear Filter button, and then re-enter your criteria, and try to Apply Filter again.
If no rooms show up in the available rooms list, it may be that there are no rooms available meeting your criteria.
If all else fails, close your browser and log back into Archibus. If you are having trouble logging in, you may need to clear your browser history and then re-enter your WUSTL key.
