FREQUENT PROBLEMS AND SOLUTION:
1. PROBLEM: There is no projects avalaible in the drop down menu for the project name. This makes it impossible to make a booking anywhere in BookitLab.
SOLUTION: A project must be added to your user by the economy administration at your institute. For this you can contact your administration directly (simples if you know who to contact) or alternatively you can send your full name, username and project number to lab-responsible (Elvia Chavez) in an email and we will try to contact you administration (works fine for IMA, IKP and IKJ student and employees).
