Making/Altering Meetings


About The Room/Facility Booking System

How do I login?

You need a COEP openLDAP account to login. This is often referred to as the Moodle account in COEP.

Only COEP Staff, Faculty have the openLDAP account. If you have forgotten your password, then please contact the helpdesk. If you do not have the account, then contact Prof. Abhijit A.M. .


Why can't I delete/alter a booking?

In order to delete or alter a booking, you must be logged in as the same person that made the booking. Contact the room incharge or the person who initially made the booking to have it deleted or changed. You can see the user id of the person who did the booking by clicking on the existing booking.


How do I create a booking?




What is the difference between fifth and last?




How do I delete one instance of a recurring booking?



How do I schedule rooms at different sites?



My booking failed to be created because of too many entries!



What happens if multiple people schedule the same booking?



What is the difference between Internal and External?

Indicate "external" if you are doing the booking on behalf of non-COEP members.


How much did the system cost?

Nothing in monetary terms. The customization is a result of voluntary contributions of Prashant Gonarkar and Abhijit A.M. See the next section for more information.


How does the system work and who wrote it?

The Meeting Room Booking System is open source software that is distributed under the Gnu Public License(GPL). This means that software is free to use, distribute, and modify. COEP has customised the MRBS for it's own usage.


The database used for the system is MySQL MySQL is a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user and robust SQL (Structured Query Language) database server that is also GPL.



The bottom line is: every piece of this system, from the operating system to the application, is completely free, as in Freedom, Mukt - source code and all.
