Calendar Naming Conventions

Naming rooms and calendar resources based on a naming convention facilitates resources being grouped in a logical way, making them easier to find when seeking to add a room or resource to an event. OIT recommends that you use CamelCase in the descriptive identifier (refer to the exampled below).

For Locations (Rooms and Spaces)

To request a location calendar, or to make changes to an existing location calendar, complete the Location Calendar support form.

Naming Convention:

  • Building-Room [DEPT] [Descriptive Identifier] [(Capacity)]

Examples:

  • FAB-87-01 OIT (10)

  • SMSU-18n USS (15)

  • MCB-518 FADM Iron (7)

For Resources

Resources include non-room items and shared calendars for teams or groups. To request a new resource calendar, or to make changes to an existing resource calendar, complete the Resource Calendar support form.

Naming Convention:

  • (Resource Type)-DEPT Descriptive Identifier

Examples:

  • (Equipment)-ITS HiDefCameraTripod
