Timetabled resources may have their timetable entered, and locked onto the booking sheet. One week, two week, or cyclic timetables are accommodated. Bookings may be altered by staff. A log of all booking changes is kept and is visible to all staff.

A bookable resource may belong to another resource. For example, a bookable video machine may belong in a bookable room. These two resources may be connected in BookIt! so that booking the room books the video machine automatically.

Some resources come in groups where you want the option to book single items or the whole group. For example, a set of internet computers. When booking, you can have the option of booking one or all.

All bookings require a name, usually a staff code. Optionally, a form group may be required, a department (KLA), a room, or additional information.

Printable reports show:

• Usage (absolute and percentage) of all or selected resources
• Usage by the departments
• Usage by the form groups

• Bookings by day, or weekly
• Rooms freed
• Linked bookings

Other reports are possible upon user request.

BookIt! operates on an unlimited calendar, with up to 99 sessions per day per resource.

How BookIt! Works...

BookIt is a Windows program that operates on a relational database. It does not require complex installation and is easily managed by anyone with reasonable understanding of files and folders on a network.

BookIt! is supplied with several executables, BookIt.exe, BIShow.exe, BIMailer.exe , BIBackup.exe and BIClose.exe. BookIt.exe is the full program providing all administrative functions plus booking sheets. BIClose.exe allows an administrator to close down all ruuning copies of BookIt to allow for maintenance of one sort or another. BIShow is a utility that displays current sessions in a window, suitable for display on a monitor.

The setup program will place BookIt! in C:\BookIt3. This is a convenient place in which to do your setup before moving to a server. After setting up BookIt, the whole folder is moved to a network server. All files used by BookIt! will be in this folder. There are no hidden files and no files in the Windows folders.
