How to Schedule Time

We have transitioned to using iLab for reserving our microscopes. In order to reserve a time use the following steps:

  1. Go to the following URL: http://augusta.corefacilities.org
  2. Click ‘here’ to login in as an Internal Augusta University user.
  3. Log in with your Augusta University username and password.
  4. Click on ’list all cores’.
  5. Click on ‘Imaging Core Facility’.
  6. If you are not already on the ‘Schedule Equipment’ Tab, click on it.
  7. Find the instrument you wish to reserve and to the right of that instrument click ‘view schedule’.
  8. Double click on the calendar on a time you wish to reserve (ex. If you want to create a time for 1-4 PM, double click on the 1-2pm block)
  9. Adjust the time so that it accurately reflects the time you want.
  10. Under ‘use and cost of reservation’, select the type of usage you wish to use. If you are a trained user of the instrument you should have an option for ‘Self Usage’. If you are not trained the option will not be available. Talk with Anna or Tim if you feel your status is not correct.
  11. Under ‘Payment information’ there is a drop down to select a Chart Field Combination number. You have to select a number here. This designates where the money for the reservation will come from. If this is left blank, the time will not be created.
  12. When done, click ‘Save Reservation’ on the bottom left.

This is assuming that you are part of lab that already has iLab setup correctly.
