Lunch Closing Reservations
Lunch Closing Reservations
If the library closes for lunch there is no facility to set a closed lunch hour in the standard PC Reservation opening hours so to make the PC's unavailable for this time you need to set a recurring reservation, this will block book the PC's in the library and all users sessions will end at the set time.
To set this up click Action and select Recurring Reservation:
Click New:
Enter LUNCH in library card number field and a PIN of 1234:
Select if it is Daily or Weekly. Enter the Time, tick the "Reserve all PCs" box, then set the length (if closed for an hour set the time to 55 minutes so the PC's are available at the reopening time):
Then click OK.
I would recommend setting the recurrence to weeks 1 for weekly, or Days 7 for daily.
You will then be asked if you wish to save the reservation, select yes and give the reservation a
brief description such as the following and click OK:
This reservation will then be made a week in advance and no one else will be able to book the
PC’s for this time. Click Done.
Repeat the above for each day your branch closes for lunch.
