How do I filter the room diary? 

Before you can start adding information to the room diary you must first set the rooms which are available. You can do this by going to the Room Diary page and selecting “Edit Rooms” from the top right of the Room Diary box.

You can, if you wish, also access this via “Tools > Administration” from the left hand menu. You will see a heading for “Room Manager”. Click on this and you will be presented with the Room Management Tool. Simply type the name of the room into the “New Room Name” box and then click “Add”. Now return to the Room Diary via “Tools > Room Diary” in the menu. The layout works similarly to the calendar where you can select day/week/month views via the calendar buttons at the top.

To add a new entry you can either click the day, or use the icon. You can then assign a room to a staff member on a certain day and set this to repeat if you wish.
