RE: Scheduling Software

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'.

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
