Meetings Time Drop Utility

Overview

The Meetings page in the Users hub is used to schedule meetings for students with their faculty advisors or with staff members. When adding a new meeting record, administrators must select a time for the meeting from the Time dropdown menu, as seen below.

The Meetings Time Drop Utility under the Systems hub controls which times appear in the Time dropdown menu. The Start Time is the first time that will appear in the menu and the End Time is the last time that will appear. The Interval controls how many meetings appear in a given day and how far apart they're spaced. The choices are 15, 30, or 60.

To set the Time menu to appear as it does in the image above, you would select a Star Time of 9:00 AM, an End Time of 6:00 PM, and an Interval of 30 minutes. Once the page has been submitted, the drop will be updated to show meeting times of of 9, 9:30, 10, 10:30, etc. until the final meeting time at 6 PM.

Tip

Keep in mind that the End Time is the final time when meetings can be scheduled and not when the final meeting of the day will end. So if staff or faculty members have office hours that end at 6 PM and the meeting interval is 30 minutes, the End Time would need to be set to 5:30 to ensure that the final meeting of the day ended by 6.
