EMS is a comprehensive and robust scheduling system that replaced Resource 25 (R25) during summer 2014. EMS is the system of record for all non-academic scheduling on campus and helps to coordinate the many services such as catering and multimedia support that will make your next event memorable.

EMS powers the Centralized Scheduling Service, a web-based scheduling portal for faculty, staff, and students.

There are many benefits to Centralized Scheduling. Here are just a few:

• Fair and transparent use of University facilities
• Access from any web browser
• Real time reporting of availability of campus locations

EMS and the Centralized Scheduling Service requires clear definition of business rules in order to maximize its potential. If a location is not available to request or schedule using the CSS, it could be for any number of reasons.

If you don’t see something that you would like to schedule, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to assist you.

Events with a confirmed or online confirmed status will be seen by other users of the Centralized Scheduling Service. One way to prevent the contents of your programming from being "advertised" is to use non-descriptive words in the event title field. For example, consider titles such as "Staff Meeting" instead of "Candidate Interviews."

Yes. If you would like to schedule a demonstration of the Centralized Scheduling Service for your department, feel free to contact us.

A key thing to remember is the difference between a reservation and a booking. Reservations convey the who and what of your programming, and bookings describe the where and when.

From the View My Requests section of the site. You can select any of your reservations that were scheduled using the Centralized Scheduling Service to edit them. There are three ways to make changes to either your reservation or bookings.

• Edit Reservation
• Booking Tools
• The edit icon in the Actions column

Choosing Edit Reservation will allow you to make changes to the event name, first or second contacts, and the event type.

Booking Tools allows for bulk changes to multiple bookings for date and time.

The edit icon in the actions column allows for changes to individual bookings for location, time, and date.

Depending on the reservation template used, you may be able to create a recurrence for your event. This is ideal for recurring weekly or monthly meetings.

If a recurrence is possible, you will see a recurrence button in the Date/Time section when starting the reservation process. Recurrences can be set in the following ways:

• Daily - event occurs everyday within a specified date range
• Weekly - event occurs on the same day each week within a specified date range
• Monthly - event occurs each month on the same day within a specified date range
• Random - event occurs at the same time but on differing days within a range of days

Once a recurrence pattern is set, you can continue searching for rooms as you would for a reservation with only one booking.
