Scheduling Instrument Reservations

The following are instructions on how to schedule time on a LOTIS supported Yale facility's instrument.

Scheduling Instructions

  • Once your account is set-up and has been granted lab/facility access, you are now ready to schedule instrument time.

  • Select the lab/facility you wish to schedule instrument time:
    • If you have access to one lab, as a default the Home page will connect to that one lab/facility.
    • If you have multiple lab/facility, you will need to click on the ‘Change Labs’ drop-down menu and select the lab you wish to schedule instrument time. Note: Red arrows will prompt you to select one.

  • Click on the ‘Schedule’ tab, the system will display the calendar view for the lab/facility you have selected.
    • If multiple calendars are available, you will need to select one to load from the "Available Calendars" menu. Make sure you are scheduling on the correct calendar.

  • Once you have verified the correct calendar is loaded, click on the desired day you wish to schedule instrument time. The day view for the calendar will be displayed.

  • Now click on the time slot you would like to reserve. A pop-up window will appear. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete items 1-8 and click Save.

  • If there are no conflicts, your requested time will now be displayed on the calendar.
