Making a reservation

- You can also make a reservation for equipment in "Browse/ Resources" tab by clicking the green clock icon.
- Green clock icon means you have access to the equipment and gray means you need training for it.
- If the clock is gray you can request training training for the equipment by clicking the gray clock.
- Paint the time with the mouse or click on the start time.
- Check the date and time in the reservation dialog
- In "Request", select the project you want to bill this reservation to. ("Request" is a confusing term here and we have asked it to be changed).
- If all went well, the reservation should be visible in the calendar.
Log in to Open IRIS at the instrument
Service providers can install Open IRIS agent on instrument computers to check that a user really has a reservation before using the instrument. In practice this shows to the user as an additional log in screen.
Once logged in to IRIS, you can access your current reservation by clicking on the green clock icon in the taskbar.
