Reservations
With reservations, the user may request a reservation for the
next available computer in the group based on the projected
session end times of computers in the group, or for a future
time that is within the operating hours that you specify. A definite
date, time, and computer are assigned to the user. Users may view or cancel their own reservations
from
any computer via the Visual
Management functions.
Waiting Lists
With waiting lists, users can register on the list to wait
for a computer to become available. Users may elect to wait for
a specific computer, or they may request the next available
computer. When a user reaches the top
of the list , that user will be assigned a computer that is
reserved exclusively for their use.
Users are assigned generic sequence numbers to protect their
privacy on the waiting list display. The display is available on any computer via the
Visual Management
functions, or you may choose to set up one computer as a "kiosk" to allow users
to register on the waiting list as well as monitor the status of the list.
Additionally, marquee systems
are available that will allow
you to make the waiting list status viewable from virtually
anywhere in the facility.
