Kerio MailServer includes a tool for sharing and booking of resources available in your company. Resources are meeting rooms and other facilities, such as conference rooms, meeting rooms, cars, etc.
Users can book resources by using calendar clients which can handle events and invitations. The following clients are officially supported:
MS Outlook extended by the Kerio Outlook Connector — settings are focused in the user's guide.
Kerio WebMail — settings are addressed in the user's guide.
Microsoft Entourage
Apple iCal
In email clients, resources can be scheduled through creating new events in calendars. It works in the same way as meeting planning. In addition to adding participants to a meeting, it is now possible to add also any resource available in the Kerio MailServer's resource list. For more detailed guidelines for resource scheduling, refer to the user's guide.
Resource scheduling would not be of any help if the user could not have viewed whether the resource was free or booked for the supposed time. This is possible with the Free/Busy calendar which is used for meeting scheduling. A calendar is needed for each resource to make reservation in the Free/Busy calendar work. For this reason, support for resources and their management is built in Kerio MailServer. The administration interface includes section Resources where it is necessary to add all resources of your company.
