Instrument Use Reporting
Departmental instruments that do not require advance reservations before use nonetheless do require that users
report the amount of time used for billing purposes. Billable instrument time is reported using a
web-based reporting system. A list of the instruments requiring the reporting of time used, along with links to
the reporting pages, is available on the right sidebar of this page.
User Names, Passwords, and Budgets
This system employs our departmental "Husky Card" data base of user names, passwords, and budgets numbers
that is also used to control departmental photocopy machine access and stockroom purchases.
When prompted to log in while making a reservation, use your last name as the "User Name".
For the "Password", enter the same password that you use when using the photocopy machines or
making stockroom purchases. The list of budgets available on your account is the same as that available
when using the photocopy machines or the stockroom.
If you do not currently have a user name registered in our departmental "Husky Card" data base, please contact
Phil Molin (3-2873) in the Chemistry Purchasing and Accounting office (Bagley 109). Likewise, if you need to
have your password changed, or if you need to have a budget added to your user name, please contact Phil.
Whenever you attempt to make a reservation, or modify an exiting reservation, the system will prompt you to login
if you have not already done so. The login will expire after five minutes if there is no user activity. You can
also logout by using the "logout" link found on the each of the reservation pages, or by simply exiting
the browser.
Reporting Use of Instrument Time
Click on the link (found on the right sidebar of this page) to the reporting
page for the desired instrument. The action will bring up a log in box, where you enter your
user name and password, followed by a page for actually reporting time. On the reporting page, select the length of
time for which the instrument was used and the budget/project that should be charged for the instrument use.
Then click the "Submit" button.
