- Open the Calendar. If the instrument isn't listed under Equipment in its sidebar, press Manage there, give its Name and Where, and press Add instrument.Edit one there to rename it, say where it is or change its colour; its bookings follow.
- Press the arrow beside New event and choose Book equipment.Or press New event and choose Booking.
- Pick the Instrument, the From and To times, and say What for.
- To book it again and again, choose Every day, Every weekday or Every week, and the date it runs until.Each repeat is a booking of its own.
- Press Save.
The booking is on the calendar; drag it to move it. A booking that overlaps another is refused, saying who has it and when, and if one repeat clashes, none is made. Duplicate, on an open booking, books the same instrument and times on another day.
