Calendar Set Up for FACS bookings

 

The software needed to run the Calendar program is part of Netscape Communicator (versions 4.x, some of the later versions do not include the calendar module), so if you are using Netscape Communicater you might already have the necessary software on your computer. On a PC search for the file nscal32.exe and double click on it to install the Calendar program. If you can't find it on your computer click here to download the necessary file. If you are using a Mac click here to download the calendar module. You can also download a full version of Netscape Communicator with the Calendar Module from the Netscape homepage http://home.netscape.com/download/index.html Go to Netscape Communicator w/Calendar and follow the instruction for downloading and installation. (If you have any problems with the installation, contact the IT helpdesk helpdesk@jcsmr.anu.edu.au or Sabine in the Facslab, room 2017, phone x53694.)

Now, you will need a User Name and a Password which you can get from Sabine in the Facslab.

Start the Calendar program: if everything went well, you should see the Netscape Calendar Sign-In window.

Type in your User Name and Password. In the Server Name box type jcfacs5, FacsUsers if you are using a PC or 150.203.7.87, FacsUsers from a Mac.

 

Next you will see the In-Tray and behind it "your " agenda.

Close the In-Tray and go to the File menu and Open An Agenda.


Type in either FACScan 1 (machine in room 2017A) or FACSCalibur (machine in room 2017A)


If you see the screen below you have successfully opened the agenda for the FACScan 1 or FACSCalibur and are now ready to make a booking.



To view the whole week click on icon on the top bar.




To make a booking highlight the time you require (make sure you don't highlight am when you're really after pm) and then double click on the highlighted field.


Type your name and phone extension number in the Title: box, make sure the Date, Start and End time are correct, then click on the icon.

If everything has gone well your booking should be looking like this!! Now all you have to do is turn up at the time you booked!


 

If you would like to cancel a booking, just double click on the entry you havemade and then click on the delete icon.
