What’s New in Space Management? Astra Schedule 7.5!
Published July 18th 2013
Have you heard the news? Astra Schedule 7.5 is set to launch July 22nd 2013 on the Fredericton Campus!
This upgrade represents a new web-interface and is truly an enterprise-wide solution. Jointly implemented by our Fredericton Registrar and Conference Services as well as the Saint John Campus, it is being rolled out across our Campus and will replace previous ‘room booking’ methods.
Why is this important? The Vice-President strongly supports this initiative since it provides true one-stop shopping for students, faculty and staff in finding the right space for the right event. Online web searches, views and forms provide the ability to initiate a space request from anywhere in the world. It also provides key inventory & utilization data to the University so we can better understand our current and future space needs.
All current users of Astra Schedule have been contacted and will be migrated on July 22nd. The Astra Implementation Working Group is contacting all other space holders to initiate migration over upcoming weeks. Our entire Campus will be ‘online’ by September 31st ! Training sessions have already begun and additional training sessions are being scheduled for August & September.
