Astra Is Moving Along!
The Astra implementation got a huge shot in the arm this week. We had a meeting of the Astra administrators and were able to decide to move all event scheduling to Astra. This means a lot of work, but it also means we'll finally be looking at one place only to see what spaces are available all across campus. This is neat. Very soon we'll be releasing the web piece which will allow anyone to request events and see what rooms are available from the web - Very Cool!
Once we get all the events pieces put together, then the campus will really be able to take advantage of the application, and it should cut down on double bookings and a lot of confusion. I am constantly amazed at the number of events that are scheduled across campus - it is a lot!
(By the way I attended one event last night at the WUC Pacific Room - Step Afrika - it was really good!)
Another piece that will be very useful is the notification of service persons such as Custodial, Setup/Takedown, Public Safety and Heating/Air Conditioning. Also the combined information will make it easier for these folks to track events directly.
It's good to have this Astra train moving down the track again!
