Scenarios
- You need find out if you have any meetings today before
going to lunch with your colleague. You go over to the
nearest PALplate, bring up the scheduler, and
authenticate yourself. You can see that if you leave now,
you'll have plenty of time for lunch.
- You're meeting runs over, and there's no time for the
final demo. You decide to reschedule. You go over to the
meeting room PALplate and select "Schedule".
The schedule is empty today from 3pm onwards. Everyone
can make it then, so you add an entry for your group.
- Since you need some A/V equipment for the demo, you
access the "object" schedule and check if any
is available. It is, so you add a note to the schedule
that you need it at 3pm.
- When you finish, you press the "Broadcast"
button, and the event is added to the calendar of
everyone in the group which scheduled the meeting.
Interface

locations, rooms, and objects (eg the TV/VCR).
