Resource Setup
To view your resources, open your Address Book and set "Show Names from the:" to either Global Address List or Iowa (FYI - "Iowa" displays all resources together).
If you want to add information about a resource, e.g., capacity, resource owner name and phone number, equipment located in the room, etc., then your departmental OU Admin in AD should follow these instructions for updating the resource Notes field:
- Use Active Directory Users and Computers.
- Navigate to the Active Directory folder iowa.uiowa.edu/Domain Groups/Resources .
- Locate and double-click on the resource name to display the resource Properties window.
- Select the Telephones tab.
- Enter resource information in the Notes field in the following format:
Capacity: if the resource is a room-# of seats
Owner: resource owner's name, phone number
Equipment: if the resource is a room-any equipment associated with the room
For example:
Capacity: 10
Owner: Jane Doe, 335-5398
Equipment: LCD projector, computer, phone, white board
The resource owner (the person who manages the resource) will need to set up a Profile to manage the resource (e.g., configure the resource, set access rights, etc.) See Resource Management in Hawkmail for details.
