Reserving Time

Click on the name of the Equipment in the left column on your Home page (You can navigate to your home page by clicking the first link in the left side column). Double click the time you want to reserve, then click “Reserve” in the pop-up box.

Please note that the Confocal has a minimum sign-up time of one hour. Once you have booked a time, you should see it on your homepage in the top left.

Modifying or Cancelling a Reservation

Because the reservation system does not allow for modification of reservations within 24 hours, you will need to cancel and re-book those reservations. To cancel, double click your reservation and click the “Cancel this session” button. If your reservation is more than 24 hours away, you can double click it, change the start time and end time, then click the “Modify” button in order to edit your reservation.

As always, it is requested that you plan ahead and thus minimize cancellations.
