Staff Meeting Rooms
Members of staff can schedule (book) meetings rooms for University business using Outlook or Outlook Web App (OWA).
We've produced fact sheets for meeting organisers, outlining the simple steps on how to schedule a meeting and book a room:
IMPORTANT CHECKS BEFORE YOU SEND YOUR MEETING INVITE
Is the room free for you to book?
You must check a meeting room's availability (using Outlook Scheduling Assistant) before submitting your meeting request. Availability is indicated by coloured blocks on the calendar; if the room is 'Free', there will be no colour block. Some room requests can only be actioned during working hours.
Is your meeting an 'All day event'?
When you make your meeting an 'All day event', Outlook's default behaviour is to automatically change the status of the meeting from 'Busy' to 'Free'. In order to prevent other meeting organisers booking the room, you must manually change the status to 'Busy'.
