Scheduling a Resource in Google Calendar

Many of our buildings are now using Google Resource Calendars to schedule their shared spaces such as computer labs, media centers, book check out, etc.  Scheduling a resource is easy but there is a tiny trick that will make scheduling your resource much easier.  The instructions below will assist you:

1. Open your Google Calendar.
2. Select the date in which you wish to add an event in a resource calendar.  
3. Click on the “Edit Event” button.

4. Title your event, select the date and time and fill out any of the other appointment options you wish.  
5. On the right hand side of the screen select the “Rooms, etc.” link.

6. Click “Add” next to the resource in which you wish to create the appointment.
7. When you are done, click the “Save” button at the top and the appointment will be added to the calendar for you.  In addition, it will add the event to YOUR Google Calendar.

* IF you have to EDIT an event you created, simply edit the event on YOUR calendar and the event will automatically be updated on the Shared Resource Calendar.
