TOL Computer Bookings

If you need remote access to one of these computers due to COVID-19/Social Distancing, it is now available.
You must be a Registered Lab User (Register your Research) and Request Remote SAL Access

You will need a Google Account to use TOL Booking System

Please use your common/first name only as the event “title” when recording your booking/usage of a machine.
This page is a public webpage – remember, you didn’t have to log in to get to this page! 🙂

Instructions for using this service are under the calendar.
Scroll down if you need them…
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
