Issue/Request: 

Would like to create a library for ER&M equipment online.

I am wondering where are we with this?

Hi Tatjana,

I apologize for not getting back to you! Could you elaborate more on the nature of this request? I’d like to get a better idea of what the requirements would be for something like this in order to better assist you.

Feel free to provide a more detailed description here, or we can arrange a time to speak on the phone.

Thank you,

Zach

Dear Zach,

We have audio visual equipment in our department. I would like to create an online library placed on our website where our members can request to rent equipment. I would like to be able to add equipment/items to the website list, and have a better control of where and  for how long some of the items are out.

Similar to the online library.

Thank you very much,

Tanja

Hi Tatjana,

I apologize for still not having a substantial answer for you, but we’re actively looking into this request and determining if we can leverage a pre-existing application for your use. I’ll be in touch again once I have a definitive answer (likely sometime next week).

Thank you,

Zach

Hello again,

I wanted to let you know that we’re still looking into this request. I should have a definitive answer about whether the existing application can be used sometime this week. I apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience!

Best,

Zach

Hi Tatjana,

I checked in with our development team on friday afternoon, and they confirmed that it should be fine to provide an instanced of their Reservations application for your department’s use. This comes with the caveat that this application is not currently being supported, so there is a chance that within the next 2 years or so you may need to switch to a new system. I can get you in touch with someone from the development team to give you more information.

Best,

Zach
