Claiming a Resource

One button, a short window, and an optional note

Claiming takes a resource for immediate use. Once you claim it, other users see that it is in use and cannot claim it at the same time.

Claim Steps

  1. Find the resource in the table and click Claim.
  2. Review the Claim window. It shows the resource name, a start time, an end time, and an optional notes field.
  3. Change the end time if needed. It defaults to 60 minutes after you pressed Claim.
  4. Click Claim to complete the action, or Cancel to close the window without claiming.

About the Claim Window

After a Claim

The Claim button changes to show the claim. Users in your organization see In Use—Edit/Cancel and can manage the claim. Users from other agencies see In Use and cannot edit or cancel it.

Notes Rule

Notes should never include Personally Identifying Information, HIPAA-protected information, or other protected data.
