Room System Templates

System Templates create the confirmation messages displayed when users submit a reservation. The System Templates do not generate e-mail confirmations.

Room Templates

The number of templates that appear depends on the configuration of the system. Room Reserve categorizes rooms as either Mediated or Unmediated. By default, all rooms are Mediated unless the system is configured otherwise.

• Mediated rooms require secondary approval from a staff person with the appropriate security privileges - Staff or Administrator login. How the system manages Mediated reservations depends on who submits them. When submitted by patrons, Mediated reservations are classified as Pending until approved by library staff. When submitted by staff, reservations are automatically accepted.

• Unmediated rooms do not require staff approval and the system automatically accepts a reservation regardless of the source - patron or staff. The table below lists the available templates and under which configuration they appear.

Library Information

Library Information refers to the library's contact information (i.e. name, address, phone, etc), residency (or other) terms, and hours (standard and alternate). THIS INFORMATION MUST BE ENTERED BEFORE EVENTS ARE POSTED TO THE CALENDAR

Multi-Branch System Note: In order to setup or access multiple branches, the multiple branches feature must be enabled.

• At the All Branches level, Library Information is managed from a drop list.

• When adding or editing a branch, the Library Information Maintenance page includes the ability to add a map link that will appear on the Event Calendar (in list view) and on the Event Information/Registration page next to the library name.
• When adding or editing a branch, you may elect to make the branch private - hidden from public view. This allows libraries to create an internal-only staff calendar.

Multi-Branch System Note: Library Information is split between All Branches and individual branch modes as follows:

Mode	Information
All Branches	All Branches mode contains: Add Branch Edit Master Branch
Individual Branch	Individual Branches may edit their own branch only. The fields that appear on the Edit Branch template do not change when accessed from All Branches or Individual Branches.

System Settings

System Settings determines how information in the system is organized, what options are available, how they work and whether information is optional or required when submitting a reservation. The standard system configuration categorizes System Settings into General and Requests/Reservations. If Unmediated Booking Options is enabled (General System Settings), Requests/Reservations becomes Mediated Reservations and Unmediated Reservations.

Branch Specific Lists

The Branch Specific lists are used to create and manage the lists, categories and classifications that appear throughout the system. Configuring the Branch Specific Lists is an Administrator level function

General Principles

The following principles apply to ALL Branch Specific Lists.

1. The Branch Specific templates consist of the following sections:

File:Room Reserve General Principles 1.png

2. All lists, except the Internal Classification List, are sorted alphabetically. The Administrator determines the sort order of the Internal Classification List based on an assigned numerical value (its "weight").

Fixture Lists

The Fixture List contains a list of fixed assets or accessories permanently installed in a room (i.e. a wall-mounted white board or projection screens). The list appears in alphabetical order.

Location Lists

The Location List allows you to enter non-traditional meeting spaces into the system. These non-traditional spaces are not defined "rooms"(i.e. having four walls, a door and a traditional meeting setup). They might include a children or reference section, the lobby, or the area outside the library where you might host a small gathering.

The Location List is the master list of all rooms and locations in the system regardless of how they are added to the system. When Events and Room Reserve work together, Events has access to the Configured Rooms (not Locations) on this list for scheduling events. Users may select, view information about and reserve a Configured Room. Events scheduled in a Configured Room appear on both the Events and Room Reserve calendar. (Locations configured in Events are not accessible to Room Reserve)

The list appears in alphabetical order.

Group Type/Category List

Group Type/Category List contains a list of patron group types and categories (i.e. Arts, and Culture, Corporate, Government, etc). The list appears in alphabetical order. Entries on this list appear on the Room Usage Report.

Internal Classification List

Internal Classification List contains a list of classifications defined by the library. These classifications appear (along with the Internal Notes and Attendance Count fields) when accessing the reservation Form in View Mode. It is visible to STAFF only. You may use these classifications any way you choose, including evaluating your patrons (i.e. such as a Acceptable, Probation, Unacceptable/Do Not Allow Reservations, etc).

(a) Order Weight appears in increments of 10

(b) When adding in a new item, assign a number based on 5 (i.e. 5,15,25 etc...)

• To place a new item before an existing item, assign an order weight that is less than the existing item.
• To place a new item after an existing item, assign an order weight greater than the existing item.
• The system places the new item in the list and reassigns a 10-based order weight to each list item based on its place in the list.

Note - If you assign a new item an order weight that already appears in teh list (new classification = 20), the system assigns the new item the next highest order weight (result = new item = 30).
