Description

MFRL uses MRBS to reserve Community Rooms, Meeting Rooms, and certain equipment.

Event Categories

Help make MRBS to be a better reporting tool. For this to happen, it's important to select the correct category for the event.

  • MFRL – an event hosted by us
  • Public – Public use of our rooms
  • Tentative – Use for Possible or Tentatively scheduled events. Don't forget to edit as plans solidify.
  • Unavailable – when room is not able to be used (voting machine storage, floor waxing, etc.)


Split Rooms (BB/CB)

Do not book a singular event in both “left side” and “right side” areas. Use the new “full CR” area instead.

In MRBS, split room CRs appear as three rooms – left, right, and full. See the example below:

The system will not allow a booking in the Full CR and a "side" of the CR at the same time.

Conflict Flags

When creating / editing an event, there are flags that can change as data is entered:

If both checkmarks are green there is no conflict with other events. One or both checkmarks will change to red 'X's if the event’s times will create a conflict.

Equipment

Equipment can be reserved through MRBS. The Contact person for the item will receive an email from MRBS when the reservation is created, modified, or deleted. The Contact should make efforts to send the item to the requester in the delivery in a timely fashion.
