Each element is discussed below:
- Core Name: You can return to the main Schedule Equipment tab for the core by clicking the core's hyperlinked name.

- Time Frame: Select the time frame or view in which you would like the schedule to be shown in (Day, Week, Month, or Multi View). Multi View shows a single-day view that lists all the separate instances of a resource (e.g. if a core has multiple physical instance of the same equipment, they may show them all on a single schedule and allow the user to pick a specific instance when they make a reservation)

- Red Events: If the equipment is unavailable for a selected amount of time.
- Orange Events: In some cases, cores require core approval for reservations. If you have reserved time on the calendar that requires core approval, that event will be in orange. When the reservation has been approved you may receive an email and you will see the event turn to purple.
- Grey: Reservations made by others.
- White: Reservations that have been canceled or are no shows.
- Schedule: Shows all reservations on the schedule for the currently selected resource.
If your schedule shows an additional set of filters at the very top of the calendar, refer to the section on configurable reservations.

Delete/Cancel a Reservation
As a core administrator, you typically have two options available to remove reservations.
- Delete reservation: This option will completely delete the reservation and release the reserved time. No record of the reservation is kept for billing or reporting purposes.
-
Cancel reservation: This option will cancel the reservation and release the time slot for other users. However, it will leave a "ghost" cancelled reservation in place that can be used for billing and reporting purposes. Additionally, the cancellation may trigger a cancellation fee if defined in the Scheduling Settings. As an administrator, you have some flexibility to either change the amount of the fee or waive the fee altogether:
