While running the Setup Wizard, you should have verified that a successful connection was made to the event provider endpoint. The follow examples are show using the EmergingSoft MeetingPlanner event provider. Other event providers will have similar options.
For specific details on setup for each event provider, see Event Providers and select the event provider that you are using.
Open the events menu and proceed to the items in the order defined:
1. Verify event provider options (refer to the setup details in your specific event provider documentation) and final configuration. If you are having problems with a connection, this is where these settings can be tested and changed.
Note: Some event providers have additional filter options in the setup for selecting confirmed events for commanding equipment. Make sure you select the filters appropriate for your facility.
2. Open the Event List tab and confirm that data from the event provider is displayed and correct. Select the start date and end date or select the “7” or “31” icons to set the interval to cover a week or a month from today’s date, respectively. Make sure you select “Remote” as the data source so that the request comes directly from the event provider’s system. When you select “Local” the last schedules in the local database cache are shown.
3. Open the Room List tab and verify that all of the room data from the event provider is displayed and correct.
Note: Rebuild button will force E2H to rebuild room list and update the room cache. You will need to do this if you add rooms to your event provider system later.
4. Open the Event Calendar tab and click on All Rooms in the Room Select group and Remote in the Data Source group. You should see calendar entries for the rooms.
