Log on to BookitLab (https://core.bookitlab.com/ntnu/) using your NTNU (or Sintef) feide user account. If you do not have a feide account, please contact the lab responsible.
First: Make sure you have added the correct core (IMA – XRD-lab) in your filter at the top right corner of the screen. If you do not know the core remove all cores to allow everything to be visible, not recommended if the core is known.
Go to HOME in the menu to the left and scroll down until you see the heading “Upcoming Available Training Sessions”, which is slightly below the middle of the page usually. Here some of the upcoming and available training sessions for the cores you have in your filter will be visible. To see more sessions adjust the number after Show from the drop-down menu. You can sort by date by clicking on the start time header and then all the nearest training sessions in time will come first.
To sign up for a training session find a session with the correct name that fits your calendar (New user training – XRD). Please note that some sessions have additional information in the remarks field. For the New user training – XRD the remarks filed show which instrument the training is devoted to, so please choose a training session for the instrument you have been suggested by the lab responsible. After finding a suitable session press the calendar symbol (highlighted in red) of the corresponding line.
Fill in the New Reservation form by selecting a project from the drop-down menu and then clicking CREATE RESERVATION button. If you have pressed the wrong training you can change it by using the drop-down menu on the training session.
IMPORTANT: The status will be pending as the lab-responsible need to aprobe the training. This will be changed to Approved, if not you will be contacted.
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).
