## Chapter 23 Resource scheduling

Kerio MailServer includes a tool for sharing and booking of resources available in your company. Resources are meeting rooms and other facilities, such as conference rooms, meeting rooms, cars, etc.

Users can book resources by using calendar clients which can handle events and invitations. The following clients are officially supported:

- MS Outlook extended with the Kerio Outlook Connector — the particular configuration is provided in Kerio MailServer 6, User's Guide, section Resources.

- Kerio WebMail — the particular configuration is provided in Kerio MailServer 6, User's Guide, section Resources.

- Microsoft Entourage

- Apple iCal

In email clients, resources can be scheduled through creating new events in calendars. It works in the same way as meeting planning. In addition to adding participants to a meeting, it is now possible to add also any resource available in the Kerio MailServer's resource list. For more detailed guidelines for resource scheduling, refer to Kerio MailServer 6, User's Guide.

Resource scheduling would not be of any help if the user could not have viewed whether the resource was free or booked for the supposed time. This is possible with the Free/Busy calendar which is used for meeting scheduling. A calendar is needed for each resource to make reservation in the Free/Busy calendar work. For this reason, support for resources and their management is built in Kerio MailServer. The administration interface includes section Resources where it is necessary to add all resources of your company.
