    Booking Methods

    There are two methods available for users to make bookings. For online bookings, a user logs into or visits a Room Booking webpage, selects the time they wish to book and requests an availability search. Sentry Isis Secure Room Booking will return a result and if a room is available, will ask the user to confirm by entering their borrower barcode number.

    A user who has not made an online booking can book a room instantly dependent on availability, using the TACIM2 wallbox. The display on each TACIM2 wallbox will present a scrolling message which will either say “Room Available until HHMM” or “Room Booked from HHMM”.

    Sentry Reports

    Sentry Isis Secure Room Booking will integrate directly with Sentry, Telepen's Access Control System, adding extra tables to the existing existing Sentry MySQL database. These will hold a record for each room available with timeslots of thirty minutes. Sentry will then generate additional room booking reports to show room usage and actual take up of bookings by users, eg:

    • How many users fail to take advantage of their booking
    • The general level of bookings made and analysis of popular times of the day, days of the week

    Automated Reminders

    Sentry Isis Secure Room Booking is capable of sending various configurable automated warnings and reminders designed to maximise room usage such as:

    • Email warnings sent to users who do not take advantage of their booking
    • Email reminders sent the day before the booking due date
    • Optional text reminders
