To the right of the page is a table of reservations on the units in the chosen group. The different colours of the reservation represent different kinds of reservations.

  • Dark blue: future reservations for the user who is logged in
  • Light blue: future reservations for other users
  • Green: units which are waiting for a user to login
  • Grey: running and old reservations
  • White: available time

If you click on a reservation to select it, the chosen reservation turns yellow.

To the left of the screen is a calendar. In the calendar you can click on the date you wish to make a reservation for. Above the date table are shortcuts to today and tomorrow. You can change the month by selecting the arrows.

Below the calendar is the 'Create Reservation' box. You can choose the unit and which timespan you wish to reserve.

You can also choose a unit and timespan by clicking in the graphical overview (white spaces).
