Overview:
These instructions explain the workflow for scheduling meetings and special events within the Astra Scheduling application. This workflow applies to users who have general access and who want to make requests in the Astra Scheduling system.
Step 1: Astra Schedule
Navigate to SCHEDULE.UAHS.ARIZONA.EDU on the browser of your choice.
Log in with your UA Net ID and password using the Log In button or Sign In button (top right of the application screen) to authenticate in the system.
Step 2: Request an Event through the Scheduling Homepage using Event Forms
You can Request an Event through the Scheduling Homepage using Event Forms one of two ways:
A. Homepage buttons: Request an Event (Event Forms)
B. Scheduling Toolbar: Events > Request Event > redirected to Event Forms.
Step 3: Add details for your meeting through Event Forms.
1. Select the Event Request Form you would like to submit.
- Please fill out the form with all required information. Include as much information as possible.
- NOTE: All required fields are denoted with an asterisk *.
2. Click Add Meeting Button.
3. You will be redirected to the Create Meeting(s) window. Here you will add your meeting details under one of three schedule types: Single, Multiple, or Recurring.
A meeting that takes place on one day or multiple meetings that occur as part of the same event, without a set date and/or time pattern.
a. Time: The system defaults the end time a ½ hour after the start time.
b. Date: Verify the single event has the same start and end date. The single event should not span over more than one day.
Multiple meetings selection is for grouping of non-patterned sessions.
a. Select the dates on the left and move them to the box on the right by clicking the arrow button.
b. To schedule multiple dates at different times; select the dates first, select the times, and click the arrow button. Continue to add more dates with different times and then click the arrow button.
- To remove a date that was previously selected, click the date again.
- To remove a meeting from the list, click the red X in the meeting box.
A series of regularly scheduled meetings (ex: every Monday and Wednesday at 2 pm, every second Thursday of the month at 9 am).
Please confirm the following fields when populating a recurring meeting:
- End Time - The system defaults the end time a ½ hour after the start time.
- End After - The system defaults to the “End after” field with 10 occurrences. If this is not ideal, then click the “End by” and select the date.
- Recurrence Summary - Review this field and confirm all information is accurate before clicking Add Meeting button.
4. Select Add Meeting when done.
5. After confirming your meetings, add your rooms by selecting the Assign Rooms/Request Rooms button and submit your selections with OK.
