Recurring Reservations

1. Log in to the Reserve Tufts Web App.

2. In the My Reservation Templates section of the home page, determine where you would like to book space. Click book now next to the appropriate template. (If you want more information about a space, click the about button.)

3. A Room Request page will load. The left-hand window can be used to input search criteria and filter your results.

4. Click Recurrence.

5. The Recurrence window will open.

6. Use the Repeats dropdown menu to select the type of recurrence pattern you want to set. You can select Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Random.

• Daily, Weekly, or Monthly – Use this if your repeating event will follow a consistent pattern (e.g. every Tuesday for the next month).
• Random – Use this if your repeating event will NOT follow a consistent patter (e.g. Thursday of this week, the following Wednesday, and the following Friday).

7. Provide the rest of the requested information about your recurrence.

8. Click Apply Recurrence. Your occurrences will be listed in the Date & Time section of the left-hand menu.

9. Click Search.

10. A list of available rooms will appear in the Room Search Results section of the page. Results will be separated into two categories:

• Rooms You Can Reserve – Rooms that appear here do not require approval. If they are open, you can book them.
• Rooms You Can Request – Rooms that appear here do require approval. If they are open, you can request to use them. Someone will review your request and either approve or deny it.

In the Available column, data is provided about how many of your occurrences could be held in each room. In the picture above for example, an availability of "4/4" for the TAB Atrium means that all four of the occurrences for this event could be held in that room. The availability of "2/4" for Cabot 702 means it can only accommodate two out of the four occurrences.

Filtering by Locations or Features

1. Click on Add/Remove next to Locations or Features in the left-hand menu. A popup window will appear.

2. Check boxes next to the buildings/features that suit your needs. Only spaces that match those criteria will be included in your results. The location filtering window is shown here as an example.
