• Using the Scheduling View on page 5
• Book a Room on page 6
• Start a Meeting on page 9
• Meeting Statuses on page 11

FIG. 18 Next Meeting Start Time

Browse Rooms (Room Grouping)

If the Administrator has equipped multiple meeting rooms in an organization with Acendo Core units or ModeroX G5 panels, they can be configured together in a Group. In a Group, one unit is set up as the Master with the remaining units being set up as Members. The Master disseminates the calendar information to Member units, acting as a Master scheduler, and updates the Exchange server with any and all Room Booking changes. This frees up the network by only having to deal with one Core unit polling the server.

With multiple Acendo Core units in a group, a Browse button appears on the Welcome screen (FIG. 19) that enables users to browse remote meeting rooms and find one available to book.

When part of a Group, the Browse button appears on the Welcome screen.
