Requesting Resource Calendars

MWS can set up Resource Calendars that can be used for scheduling, room reservations, or equipment. There is a nominal one time charge to  consult and create the resource calendar. More information on our consulting fees can be found in the MWS Service Catalog. You can request a Resource Calendar by sending your request by email to: help@uw.edu When you send your request by email, we will need the following information:

NOTE: All resources follow the same naming convention: "deptshortname"dot"description" If you want a resource named "F2.HRP Huddle Area", the deptshortname=F2 and the description=HRP Huddle Area 'Alphanumeric' includes letters and numbers but not other characters.
