Dagna, I use Webevent to run our calendaring software. Up to 50 laboratories are able to individually sign up for each of our 4 analyzers and 2 sorters, each of which is given an individual calendar. The software can be configured such that for each machine individual users have read-only or write access such that for the sorters for example labs must call the facility to have me sign up for them. Otherwise users can sign up for access time anywhere they have access to the internet. Individual users can only change or delete time they themselves have signed up for and if you have a facility that is only open during the day for example, then the time of sign-up can be limited for all or individual machines. We're very happy with it but it is pricey. It cost us $1200 for a 50 user site license but you can get smaller site licenses for considerably less. We wanted all labs to have unique access but I suppose you could share passwords among multiple labs if desired. We run it under MAC OSX server. You can view it at webevent.com or our own site at http://www.flowcytometry.uchc.edu/cgi-bin/webevent.cgi by logging in as 'guest'. Gene Pizzo Manager, Flow Cytometry Facility UCONN Health Hello Everyone, I have been scouring the web for the better part of a week looking for some software that would allow users to schedule flow appointments on line. I would like something that requires a few bits of information (name, lab/PI, phone number) before actually allowing someone to schedule. What I am really looking for is a write only software so as to eliminate those naughty few who might cancel 5 minutes before an appointment. Is there a software program currently available that would be able to do this for me, or am I looking at designing a website for this? How hard is that, really? any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks dagna -- Dägna Solveig Sheerar Manager Flow Cytometry Core Facility Robarts Research Institute PO Box 5015 100 Perth Drive London, Ontario N6A 5K8 519 663 5777 x 34042 dsheerar@robarts.ca
