Lesson 9: Reserve a lab resource for a specific time period

In this lesson you, in the role of a lab manager, reserve a lab resource for a specific period.
In this lesson, you use the BetaTest test environment that you created in "Lesson 2: Creating a lab resource test environment" to search for a lab resource that matches the test environment. You then reserve the lab resource for two weeks.

Under Search, the name of the test environment (BetaTest) and the lab resource that is defined in the test environment (Machine1) are displayed along with the attributes that are defined for the lab resource. Availability contains options to reserve a lab resource for today, tomorrow, the next two days, and the next five days. You will reserve the lab resource for two weeks.
  4. In From, click the calendar icon (Reserve several dates), and select a date in the future as the date to start using the lab resource (Machine1).
  5. In Until, click the calendar icon, and select an end date that is two weeks after the date you entered in From to finish using Machine1.
