The only problem is that the categories (e.g. Meeting Room 1, Meeting Room 2, Seminar Room, etc.) are not shown in text format on each "event" on screen. I can distinguish categories by my colour set up, but other users who see the shared calendar would have to set up the same categories and assign colours, which is not practical with many users (printing the calendar can lose colour information anyway). Alternatively, the meeting room name has to be entered as the "Title" of the event, but it would be much easier to select from a drop-down list of categories. Could display of the category name for each event be made an option on a per-calendar basis? The "Title" of each event could then be the name of the person who has booked the resource or whatever. I think that would solve the problem. BTW, I tried setting up a separate calendar for each room, but then it is difficult to compare the availabiltiy of all rooms at one glance, without having to switch on a number of calendars (and possibly switch off others to avoid an overly cluttered display). And thanks for a great system - it is much appreciated here at the Medical Research Council Human Genetics Unit in Edinburgh.

It's a bit more involved than using the Category or Location fields, but I suggest you use Location for now. I'll leave this ticket around to track the feature.

I will look forward to the full resource tracking system in due course. Using Location has the same problem as using Category - it is not shown on an event other than in the pop-up - so it is difficult to see which rooms are free/booked without a lot of "mouse-overing" (and of course a print-out has no pop-ups). Using Title will be fine as a stop-gap measure, but maybe having an option of showing Category and/or Location directly on events (not via the pop-up) could be useful anyway. Thanks again.
