 A traffic light to the left of the equipment name shows the status of the
equipment. Green indicates there are no problems with the equipment. Yellow
indicates a problem has been reported with the equipment, but the equipment
may still be used. Red indicates the equipment has been shutdown and is not
available for use.

More  More information on the status of equipment with yellow or red traffic lights
is available by highlighting either the equipment or the equipment area and
then clicking either the Maintenance or Equipment Status Summary tabs. Each
tab allows you to select which type of statuses to show. The Maintenance tab
also allows a date range search.

 Scheduling Equipment

In the left pane of the Coral client, highlight the piece of equipment for
which you would like to reserve time. In the right pane, select the
"Reservations" tab, and use the mouse to drag and highlight the time period to
reserve. Then, under the "Reservation Actions" menu, choose "Make". A "Machine
Reservation Information" windows pops up. Select the Project and Account to
which you are planning on charging your time (when enabling equipment, you
will choose which project/account is actually charged... this is for your and
for staff information when viewing the reservation). In the "Process" box,
leave any quick notes that staff may need to prepare the equipment for your
use.

 Scheduling equipment across midnight requires making two separate
reservations. And, to advance or step back the week show for reservations, use
the "Next" and "Previous" items under the "Reservation Actions" menu.

 To view an existing reservation, just double click that reservation in the
Reservations tab grid. To make changes to the reservation, first delete the
reservation and second create a new reservation.

 To delete an existing reservation, click once on any portion of the
reservation in the Reservations tab grid, then choose "Delete" from the
"Reservation Actions" menu.

 Various scheduling restrictions apply to each piece of equipment. The
easiest way to view the scheduling restrictions for a piece of equipment is on
the Equipment Information Sheet for that piece of equipment. You can also look
at the Reservation Policies for that piece of equipment in the Coral client.
First, highlight the piece of equipment. Second, select the "Policy" tab.
Third, double click "ReservationManager" to expand the tree. Next, double
click "CNFReservationPolicySet" to further expand the tree. You will then see
the rest of the policy tree. Highlight any item in the policy tree to view an
brief explanation of the policy rule.

Note that not all scheduling restrictions are enforced by Coral. Refer to the
Equipment Information Sheet.

 Enabling Equipment

 If you are not yet qualified to use a piece of equipment in the Coral system,
you will not be able to enable that piece of equipment.
