PPMS allows you to book any facility, be that a piece of equipment or lab area within CVS or BioQuarter for your work. 

To book a session,

• Click the space or piece of equipment that you wish to use
• Click on the time slot(s) required, click to "book the selected sessions"

Your booking is registered and appears on the calendar as a dark blue shaded bar. Some of the more specialised or restricted instruments and equipment in some areas require a confirmation at this stage either from Lab Managers or other authorised staff so these items will be a sea green colour as opposed to the usual blue until such time as approval for use has been given. When approval is given they will change to a blue colour.

You can return and cancel a session at any time.

On your home page you will see a section entitled 'My Sessions' and a list of your bookings underneath. If you click view on any item this will take you a page about that session. Scroll down and click 'cancel session' and it will disappear from your sessions list.

If you find that a session on an instrument or a bay you hoped to use is already booked, you can request to be informed if that slot subsequently becomes available.

Simply click the 'Notifications' tick box on the bottom left of your screen.

In this instance you and anyone else who clicked that box will be emailed directly if a cancellation occurs. The re booking of the slot simply goes to whoever responds to that email first.
