If your booking is not accepted, and there are no conflicting bookings, please contact: support at salportal.com

As there is now remote access available to this lab – following the booking rules is not just good manners!

Book only the times you will actually be using the computer.
Book in single day bookings, unless you are running a large processing job that really will be running for 24+ hours.
Cancel bookings you made and are not using.
Use the Calendar if you are using a computer in person – by dropping in or because you planned to!
Use the Calendar if you are using a computer remotely – spur of the moment or because you planned to!
ALWAYS CHECK THE CALENDAR and DO NOT SHUTDOWN COMPUTERS.
If you are in the lab and there is nobody seated in front of a computer, that does NOT mean it is not being used.
Computers will be restarted regularly, but do a restart if you need to. Please make sure the computer is on when you leave it. If you think you may have accidentally shutdown a computer, contact support at salportal.com
