- Update: We made a brief summary which you can read instead here.
- The interface has changed quite a bit, but don’t worry: the basic processes are still the same. Here is a very quick rundown:
- You now have to start from the Calendar / + new Event, like so:
and 
- To add resources
- Don’t try the “button:add room”, you will get this error:
- instead, either type the resource email address
- or click the + next to “Attendees’
- and search the database for the “LRC[whatever]” resource,
- note: no need for a new window anymore
- and by double-clicking or clicking the + , from the search results, add the desired resources to the “Attendees”, finally click top menu: “OK”
- or to remove spurious ”Attendees”, right-click them:
- and search the database for the “LRC[whatever]” resource,
- to preview the availability, you can still click top menu: “Scheduling assistant”.
- Note that the “Scheduling Assistant”looks very different, not like a parallel timeline, more like a parallel calendars, you can choose form thee upper right
- either day view:
- or week view:
- either day view:
- Note that the “Scheduling Assistant”looks very different, not like a parallel timeline, more like a parallel calendars, you can choose form thee upper right
- and it tries to help you by giving more explicit information about conflicts:
- when happy with how you scheduled your “event”, click top menu: “send”
- read the response
- unfortunately, there seems to be no “toast” (tested in Chrome on Windows 7 and Firefox on Window XP)
- there is, however, still a response
- “accept”
- or,”with explanation, “declined”:
- there seems to be also a bug that you cannot send messages to yourself (huh? investigating), ignore for the time being:
- from the “Event” in your calendar, you can still
- edit (including, for repeating events, single occurrence or series :
- right-click the “Event” from the calendar and choose “cancel”, which still brings up a popup window where you have to “send”:

- In Outlook (Desktop), like it says in the first item on the upper left:
- This will add the calendar to the list of calendars on the left of your Outlook, like so
- That is, if you do a calendar overlay, like so.

LRC web browser popup blockers are currently misconfigured
2013/09/14

- Problem: I noticed that mail.uncc.edu is not configured correctly, when our hands-on exercises during out training of film students and lrc assistants failed, but I did not have the time to take photos of which browser was involved.
- Workarounds:
- You can always (hold the key:) CTRL-click on the link where your web browsing fails.
- I have a temp solution for the lab, but why not configure these few sites, if you get fed that your users need it.
- Solution: We already asked for these sites be allowed through popup blockers of web browsers in use (chrome, firefox, internet explorer 8):
- *.uncc.edu
- *.mt202sabameeting.com
- *.Mygermanlabs.com
- *.pearsoned.com
- *.pearsoncmg.com
- *.mylanguagelabs.com
- *.mylabs.px.pearsoned.com
- *.pearsonvt.wimba.com
- *.outlook.com
- newly added: *.connect.mcgraw-hill.com.
