Online Booking System

Getting Started

All investigator and user registrations must be made by downloading and electronically completing the appropriate form (for Internal or External Investigators). The completed form must be e-mailed from the Investigator's institutional e-mail address to the Facility Manager ().

Once you have submitted your registration, a temporary password will be e-mailed to you. This will be a temporary, system-generated password, which we recommend you change immediately. The e-mail address you provided on the registration form will serve as your login ID.

To begin using the system, go to the phpScheduleIt login page. Enter your e-mail address and password to login. You will then be taken to your personal home page (called "My Control Panel").

Displayed on this personal page are any FCF announcements (under "My Announcements"), and any reservations you have previously made (under "My Reservations"). Please note that FCF instruments and operators are referred to as "Resources" in this program, and the user reserving a resource is referred to as the reservation "Owner". You will not use the "My Invitations" and "My Reservation Participation" features for now.

Under "My Permissions" you will see a list of resources for which you are permitted to book appointments. You will only be allowed to reserve time on Resources appearing in this list. In general, you should have permission to book any analyzer (BD or Coulter) you have been trained to use, as well as most of the sorters and all of the operators. Please notify one of our operators (by e-mail) if you think your permissions need to be changed. The location, phone number and primary operator or FCF staff contact for each instrument are also displayed here.

On the left side of the page, under "My Quick Links", are the tools you'll need to use to view schedules, book appointments, and manage your e-mail preferences. Clicking on the "?" icon next to "My Quick Links" opens a window that describes many features of phpScheduleIt. Please note that we have modified this program from its original version, so these descriptions may not be entirely correct, however they still provide a reasonable overview of the scheduling system and its functionalities. If you have questions about your permissions or user Account, use the "Email Administrator" link located in "My Quick Links" to contact the Facility Manager. Your "My Control Panel" page will look something like the one shown below:
