Frequently asked questions
How does this scanning electron microscope booking system calculate utilisation?+
For each booking you enter a start and end time; the tool computes the duration and sums it across all bookings to give total booked hours. It also counts distinct users and multiplies hours by your recharge rate ($80/h by default) to estimate billing. These are the core utilisation metrics core facilities report to funders.
Does it prevent double-booking automatically?+
It shows every existing booking sorted by date so clashes are easy to spot before you add a new slot. It is a lightweight log rather than a locking calendar, which keeps it fast and fully offline — ideal for a shared instrument where the team self-coordinates.
Can I use this for charge-back billing?+
Yes. Add a grant/project code to each booking and the summary estimates recharge from booked hours × your hourly rate. Export to CSV to feed your finance system or build an invoice.
Where are the bookings stored?+
Entirely in your browser via localStorage — no account and no server. That means the schedule loads instantly, works offline at the instrument, and keeps project codes and user names private. Export to CSV to share or archive the schedule.
