Schedule the room and any equipment at the same time
Open calendar, click on file, then click on fold, and then click on properties for calendar, in description I have put the number of people the room will hold.
Suburban radiology, surgical consultants etc.
It’s the schedulers responsibility to work out any room conflicts. If I notice a conflict I try to notify both parties involved
Also try to follow room use and scheduling policies. Such as the order in which people are allowed to start scheduling for the next year.

Most common mistake: room ID placed in Required field
Room ID MUST be entered in the Resources field.
12. Click on room ID and drag from “required” to the “resource” field. This locks in your appointment.
Invite people
Reserve additional rooms at same time
Reserve equipment at the same time.
The thing to remember is that to lock in the appointment must move room id from required to resource. If you do not do this, some one can schedule for the same time and not will not get a message letting them know you have already book for that time.
The other tip is that you need to click and drag or cut and paste. 12

If meeting requires a room set up, schedule the meeting time to allow for 30 minutes before and after actual meeting appointment to allow enough time for room set up and take down.
Example:
Meeting from 9:00am-10:00am:
Reserve room from 8:30 a.m.10:30 a.m.
To submit a room set-up request:
Go to: FSH Intranet/Departments and Programs/ FSH Facility

Remember to book both side A and side B if booking the International Room. Note: podium is located on Side B.
You can reserve equipment at the same time that you reserve the room by adding the equipment ID to the resource area along with room ID.
