Create a production. Production name should be the name of your project, not your name. Fill out the production name, description (one or two sentences is fine) and the production type. The remaining fields are optional.
If you already have a production, click “Production” in the top blue menu and choose yours from the list.
Select your start date/time and end date/time. These are the times you are picking up equipment and returning it. This step is very important. Make sure your start and end times are accurate. You can always return equipment earlier than expected. Select your times BEFORE you choose any equipment.
Select equipment. All the equipment listed is what is available during your start time and end time. If you don’t see a particular piece of equipment, it is booked during that time. You can try readjusting your start time and end time.
Type a search term, hit enter on your keyboard, find your item, check the box to the left, and click “request.” Adjust the quantity if you need more than one.
Use brief search terms. For example instead of “64 gb SD card” just search “64”
Click OK. This will exit close the window and show you your reservation. You may need to hit refresh on your browser to view your complete reservation. If you need to add more equipment, click “add reservation” and verify that the start and end dates/times are still correct. Once you’ve finished this your request is automatically submitted. You will receive an email when it has been approved.
When you pick up equipment please arrive on time. Plan on being here for 20 minutes, though the process usually only takes a few minutes. Please return equipment on time so it does not interfere with anyone else’s booking. If you need an extension, please call a day ahead.
