Scan Availability of Pooled Resource Window


The Scan Availability of Pooled Resource window shows you how much of a pooled resource has been booked for all time slots in a selected week. For each time slot, the number of booked units is shown both in absolute numbers and as a percentage of the total units of the resource. When fewer than 50% of the available units are booked, the time slot is colored blue. Yellow is used when 50 to 99% of the units are booked, and red when 100% or more (greater than 100% means overbooked) of the units are booked in the time slot.



Resource   The resource to be scanned. Enter the name of the resource or click the Down Arrow button to select from a table of existing resources.

Week Includes   A date in the week to be scanned. Enter the date or click the Calendar button to call a look-up calendar for selecting the date.   
 

Begin/End  Beginning and ending times of the regular work day

Interval  Choosing a small time interval will allow you to see bookings for even short periods of time.

Width/Height  You may change the dimensions of the columns and rows.

Click the Go button to implement any changes made to the above data fields. A red Go button indicates that the window should be refreshed.

To add a new booking, click the Add button.

You may add a new booking simply by placing the cursor on a desired, empty time slot and then double clicking. The Add/Update Booking window will appear and the start time, date, resource and user-specified number of resource units will be filled in. Confirm by clicking the OK button. New bookings cannot be inserted by clicking a time slot if you are accessing ResSched through the Web module.

To quickly scroll up and down the window, click above or below the slider button in the vertical scroll bar rather than using the arrow buttons or dragging the slider button.
