The Virtual EMS access can be used on any computer at scheduling.byui.edu.

Outlook access is only available to PCs and requires an additional installation by following these instructions (PDF). You need not print the document, just read the text and links.

CAUTION: To avoid breaking the connection between EMS and Outlook, events originating as a Virtual EMS reservation must be edited through the EMS access; events started in Outlook, must be edited through Outlook. See EMS & Outlook Integration FAQs for more details.

If you are authorized to work on a calendar on behalf of another employee

have the owner grant you Editor permission and check the "Folder owner" checkbox
be designated as a delegate within Virtual EMS by requesting permission through the Scheduling Office.

Access to rooms is customized. If you have unique needs or questions, please contact the Scheduling Office.
