Click the left mouse button on the day/instrument/time that you want to begin.
Another window appears.
Select the End time.
Note: To reserve overnight you will have to make two reservations, one until and one after midnight.
Summary is optional, but useful.
Summaries such as 13C, VT, noesy in D2O help us configure the facility to serve you better.
If the time slot is blue, you have reserved the time.
Please cancel the time if you are not going to use it. We can bill you if you don't.
If the time slot is yellow, an administrator will have to approve the scheduled time.
Be sure to logout (either on the home page or top left of the scheduling software).
