Set up your core, instruments and/or services
NB! The steps below assumes that a core is already created for your lab. If this is not yet done, please consult to the guidance page "Implement BookitLab at a core facility/ lab" .
To get your core ready to be used in BookitLab, follow the steps below.
- Set the necessary information about your core
- Registrer instruments and / or services.
- Set up "price sheet"
- Set "instrument price category" for each;
- For instruments, it is recommended to configure diverse settings for booking and add information about the instruments, for example where it is located, description of the instrument, etc. It is also possible to upload relevant documents.
If several instruments are at the same price to rent / use, it would be more efficient to reverse the order; first define / set up ?Instrument price category? (step 3), then ?Price sheet? (step 2), and finally instruments and / or services (step 1).
To limit access to core and its instruments/services to only approved users
It is recommended to make the core and its instruments and services visible to all BookitLab users. However, it is possible to limit access to your core by following these steps. This can be useful if the core is still in the setup phase.
- Enable access request:
- Click the Edit Core button on the Core's Dashboard and navigate to the Core Settings page.
- Select the Allowed User/User groups/Institutes tab the left side in the main content area.
- Check the Expose Services and Instruments in This Group to Users from Specific Org Units and University Only checkbox. Then, check the Allow users to request registration to this Core checkbox. In the Email registration request to field, enter your email address to receive access requests for your core.
