Super Tip: 25Live Pro may take you to wherever you were when you last signed in. Always go to 鈥淢ore鈥 to find the menu (home, availability, etc.)

in 25Live Pro.

Tip: In the Availability view, change the date as needed. In the first dropdown field, you may choose from 鈥淎ll rooms鈥; 鈥淭ri-Cities General Use Classrooms; 鈥淐omputer Labs 鈥 Teaching;鈥 etc., to narrow the results. Hover over a room name to see the features/description. Hover over an event to see details. Look at 鈥淐alendar鈥 in 鈥淢ore鈥 for an alternate view (top right hand corner). Remember, there needs to be 10 minutes of passing time between events. For example, if the prior event or class ends at 10 a.m., you will need to start your event at 10:10 a.m.
