  too many entries!
  The system can be configured to use one of several methods of authentication,
  including LDAP, Netware, and SMB. See your system administrator if you
  are having trouble logging in. Some functions are restricted to certain
  users, and other users will get the message You do not have access rights to
  modify this item
  . See your system administrator if this is not working
  correctly for you.
  If the system is configured to use LDAP authentication, this means that you
  login with the same username and password as you use for getting email
  e.g. Mark Belanger
  In order to delete or alter a meeting, you must be logged in as the same person that made the meeting. Contact one of the meeting room administrators or the person who initially made the meeting to have it deleted or changed.
  TopClicking on the desired time brings you into the booking screen. Fill in the details and click "Save".
  Instead of clicking on the desired time you can select a time range and also a room or day range by dragging the cursor over a group of cells in the day or week views. When the mouse is released you will be taken to the booking screen and the time slots and the room or day range will have been filled in for you.
  When making a monthly recurring booking, the fifth
  weekday of every month
  is just that. If a month does not have a fifth weekday then no booking will be
  made for that month. If you choose the last
  weekday of the month then a
  booking will be made on the fourth weekday if there is no fifth weekday.
  works in a similar way, but counting backwards from the end of
  the month. Using first
  will give you the fourth last weekday of the month
  if there is no fifth last weekday.
  Select the day/room/time that you want to delete and select Delete Entry.
  TopYou don't. Presently the system cannot book two different rooms simultaneously. You must schedule each one separately. Make sure that the time you want is available at both sites before making a booking.
  Toptoo many entries!
  No meeting can create more than 365 entries. There needs to be some limit on the number of meetings created. This number can be increased if necessary.
  TopThe short answer is: The first person to click on the Submit button wins. Behind the scenes, the system is using a proper multi-user, multi-threaded relational database than can handle many thousands of simultaneous users.
  By default, MRBS defines two meeting types. Internal means that the meeting will only be attended by employees. An External meeting might also be attended by customers, vendors, investors, etc. Your site can define up to a total of 10 meeting types, according to your needs. Meetings are highlighted in the main calendar view with a color corresponding to their type, and a color key of all defined types is shown at the bottom of the main calendar view.
  TopThe Meeting Room Booking System is open source software that is distributed under the Gnu Public License(GPL). This means that software is free to use, distribute, and modify.
  The system is written mostly in PHP, which is an open source programming language that can be embedded in web pages similar in concept to Microsoft active server pages. PHP is especially good at accessing databases.
  The database used for the system is either MySQL or PostgreSQL. MySQL is a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user and robust SQL (Structured Query Language) database server that is also GPL. PostgreSQL is a full-featured multi-user open source Object Relational SQL database server.
  The system will run on multiple platforms, including the PC architecture using the Linux operating system. Linux, is a free, open source, unix-like operating system.
  The web server being used is yet another piece of free, open source software. The Apache web server is the world's most popular web server.
  The bottom line is: every piece of this system, from the operating system to the application, is completely free - source code and all.
