Updated Resource Scheduler Database
Do you use the Resource Scheduler database to reserve meeting rooms or check out equipment? Starting August 30, your login will be changed to match your Peoplebox database login. Also, in order to have the reservations email notifications sent properly, a drop down box with all of the users of the database has been created on both the room and equipment reservations pages.
If you have any questions, please contact Maureen Whited at mwhited@aea11.k12.ia.us or ext. 14533.
