SVM meeting room reservations are being made using the campus calendar program - WiscCal.  By logging in to your "My UW" account at http://my.wisc.edu/portal/index.jsp you can create and maintain your own calendar and also check availability of SVM meeting rooms.   A link to My UW is also available on the SVM Home Page or on the campus home page.

You log in to your My UW account using your NetID which is the logon you were assigned by campus to dial in to the campus network.  This is not the same logon ID and password you use to access the SVM network.   If you have never activated a NetID account you can do so from the My UW link.  For assistance looking up your NetID or your NetID password you must contact the campus Help Desk at 264-HELP (264-4357).

Once you are logged in to the My UW site on the left-hand side of the menu bar you will see a link to WiscCal.  Double click it and you will be in your calendar. 

This is the menu bar:

Weekly

The first three icons let you switch between day, week or monthly view of your calendar.

Next consecutively you have the icons to -

 - View Tasks

 -Create a Meeting

 -Create a task

 -Create a day event

 -Create a daily note

 - Open a group view

 - View an agenda

Then you have the window of the calendars you have selected to view

 -Go - To go to the specific calendar you want to see

 -Switch to Accessibility Mode

 -Tools

 -Online Help

 -Sign Out (Exit)

We are going to focus on the View Agenda Icon. 

When you click on it, type vet in the search parameter field, Change the type of search to a resource search rather than a name search then click Find.  This will then bring up a list of the SVM meeting rooms and a few other resources.  Select the rooms you check most often and add them to your favorites by clicking "add to favorites" (unfortunately you can add only one room at a time to your favorites list).  When you have added the rooms you want then click Ok.  Now on the front page view of your calendar you will notice in the list window, there is a scroll down bar and when you use the scroll down bar, the list of the rooms you just selected shows up.  So now you highlight the room you are interested in and then click GO and the calendar for that room comes up and you can see availability. 

The next time you log in to your WiscCal Calendar all those rooms you just selected will still be there for you so you won't have to go through that selection process again (Whew!)

To schedule the conference room you still need to call OAA for all rooms except Room 2166 or the CBS and PBS conference rooms.  For those rooms call Rose (3-7934) or Michelle (3-6716) in the Dean's Office.
