Note: Ad Astra works best when used with the Internet Explorer browser when using a PC or with Firefox when using a Macintosh.
If you want to display the schedule (availability) for a specific room on the calendar in Ad Astra, follow the steps below.
For one-time use or if you are viewing as a guest, you can quickly display a specific room with these steps. When doing so, you are not setting a filter, and you would need to do this each time.

If you can't find the room that you want, then maybe something in the current filter preventing it. The steps below show how to set a filter to use all (or most of) the time. To do this, you MUST be logged in to Ad Astra as a user. Use your Novell user ID and password in the boxes at the upper right.

Do steps 1-3 above
