ASTRA - Still Rolling
This week I set up the notification area (called workflow in Astra-ese) with the help of Astra support. We will be using internal communication to handle all event requests from the web. Once again Astra has been pretty impressive. It will send the web event request to the person responsible for the particular room requested. That person looks over the request and either approves or denies it. If approved, Astra automatically creates the event using the info from the web. Slick! The way it is set up Nan receives notification on every event request (she handles tons of these all across campus), and for certain buildings/rooms the person responsible for the space gets the notification. It is a bit complicated, but this means we can have individuals retain control over their area, but still create approved events in Astra pretty easily.
Once we get this round of setup completed, then we'll configure the email section, which will be used to notify service areas of the need for such things as table and chair setup, parking, HVAC, custodial, and so forth. Is that a light at the end of the tunnel I see??
