Padding

LibCal will set available times based on the duration and padding pre-set by each Group.

  • Padding for General/39C and HumCore (set for 30 minutes)
  • Padding for Subject Groups (set for 15 minutes)

When you set up appointments, availability windows must be long enough for the appointment duration as well as the padding time AFTER.

If you have currently booked meetings in Outlook, please allow time BEFORE setting your LibCal Appointment Start Time.

Need to Update Settings?

Once you set up your initial settings and schedule appointments, making changes will not affect existing appointments. It will only apply to subsequently created sessions.

To change existing sessions, delete them and start over.
