# Groupware: Resource Calendars

This source provides instructions on how to use and book resources via the Groupware calendar module and how to request the creation of a new resource calendar.

## Booking Resources

### Process and Availability
- **Overview**: Users can view resources they have at least read access to in the "Resources" section (Area 4) of the calendar module.
- **Booking Process**: Resources are booked by creating a standard appointment and selecting the desired resource in the "Resources" tab.
- **Availability**: The system performs an immediate availability check upon saving the appointment.

### Visual Status Indicators
Most resources require administrator approval, indicated by the following color-coding:
- **Red**: Pending confirmation; the resource is reserved, but confirmation from the resource administrator is still pending.
- **Green**: Confirmed by the administrator.
- **Cancellation**: If a request is rejected, the resource becomes available again for that time slot.

## Provisioning and Administration

### Requesting New Resources
- **Provisioning**: Resource calendars are not created automatically. They must be requested via the [[ums]] (Account Management) using a resource application.

### Setup and Management
- **Technical Setup**: The [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] handles the technical setup, creates the resource, and grants administrative rights to the requester.
- **Administration**: The requester is responsible for configuring all subsequent permissions and properties of the resource calendar.

## Support
Technical support is available via the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] (URZ) through:
- The [[groupware]] ticket system.
- The URZ hotline (ext. 1420).
