Scheduling Details Tab

The Scheduling Details tab allows you to set up the room's calendar using the Server Access drop‑down and the subsequent fields that display as a result of your choices.

NOTE: If you change the calendar type of a room that has meetings associated with it, you will lose the meetings.

You can choose:

Lotus Domino

Lotus Domino

NOTE: Lotus Domino is used to access the Lotus Notes Calendar service as a source for the Crestron Fusion RV® software Scheduling Service. For information concerning integrating Crestron Fusion RV with Notes Domino, refer to the Lotus Domino topic.

  1. Select Lotus Domino in the Server Access drop‑down menu. Two fields will appear immediately beneath the drop down: Lotus Resource Name and Resource Site.

    2. NOTE: In Lotus Notes, a room is defined by its Resource Name and Site Name. For example, Room 1234 at 123 Your Street would be stored in Lotus Notes as CN=Room 1234/O=123 Your Street. Therefore, the Lotus Resource Name and Resource Site would be Room 1234 and 123 Your Street respectively.

  2. Enter the room name into the Lotus Resource Name field. This name is the Room Resource Type as described in the Resource Reservation database (default name: Resource.nsf) used in your installation.
  3. Enter the location information for the site into the Resource Site field. This is the site information contained in the same database.

    4. NOTE: Crestron Fusion requires read/write access to the Resource Reservation Database and read access to the Directory (default name: names.nsf) database.
