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)

Naming Convention: Building-Room [DEPT] [Descriptive Identifier] [(Capacity)]

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

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 form.

Naming Convention: (Resource Type)-DEPT Descriptive Identifier

Examples:

• (Equipment)-ITS HiDefCameraTripod

• (Calendar)-USS DST AppointmentCalendar

• Notes:

  • [XYZ] brackets are optional.

  • Resource Types available are (Automotive), (Calendar), (Equipment) and (Other).
