An Organization in LabArchives Scheduler can be set up to represent one team, one lab, or one department. It can even represent a small company. Through the Scheduler Organization, you create reservations for resources that are on a schedule. Access to an organization is managed by an Admin through an invitation process. Users must be invited to the Organization in order to review the schedules and book resources. To learn more about the member roles and their permissions, click here.
If you create a Scheduler account prior to receiving an invitation to an existing Organization, a default organization is created in your name. You will also be assigned the Application Admin role for this default Organization.
To create a new Scheduler Organization, click the gear icon at the top of the page. Application Administrators who are part of a Enterprise-subscription plan should see the Create New Organization option. Free-edition or Premium-paid plans will instead need to use the default Organization and will not see this option.
After selecting Create New Organization you will have an option to change the name of your new Organization. New organization names should typically follow the name of your lab, research team, or department.
If you are not creating a new Organization and instead using the default organization that is part of your Free-edition or Premium-paid subscription plan, select Manage My Organization to rename the Organization.
After clicking Create, a confirmation message displays confirming that the organization was created. The message includes a link to switch to the new organization. Clicking on the link opens the new Organization.
To switch from one organization to another, click your name at the top right and select Switch Organizations. A window will open where you can select the Organization you would like to view. Only one Organization can be viewed and managed at a time.
