Resource planning and reservations

The Resource planning and reservations tool is used for making all of Jamk’s course timetables and room reservations. It is used for creating calendars for all resources (teachers, rooms, equipment and student groups). All rooms and equipment are displayed to every user. Rooms in Peppi are reserved only via Peppi or Tuudo app if user have the rights to reserve it. More information about reserving via Tuudo is here. If there´s maintenance break in Peppi you can check classroom reservations from Tuudo.

The conference rooms that are intended for the staff’s use are still booked via Outlook. You can´t reserve or edit Peppi´s classrooms via Outlook.

Every member of the Jamk community may browse and view the published rooms, groups, implementations, teachers and equipment, i.e. complete reservations. If reservations is made in draft mode, only planners can see it. If reservation is made in suggestions mode, teachers can see it. Instructions to locate the classroom is in students´ instructions.

Trade fair supplies, badminton and Jamk’s vehicles can be borrowed by staff. The units’ borrowable equipment are named as a separate type. The names of borrowable equipment indicate the unit to which the equipment belongs. Equipment can only be borrowed by persons who belong to the unit concerned. Trade fair supplies, podcast tables, Jamk’s vehicles and the unit’s own cars and equipment are reserved the same way as rooms.

Course timetables are primary reservations in Peppi. Due to this room reservations is allowed only for education coordinators until course timetables are published. Announcement will be made when other users can make reservations.

The timetable engine is a separate view that displays the reservations made and published in the resource calendar included in Peppi. Student can view own course timetable in the timetable engine and compile new timetables. Timetable engine can be used without logging in but only logging in you can save your schedules. You can access the timetable engine at lukkarit.peppi.jamk.fi or from the link on the first page of the Pakki student desktop. Timetable engine´s instructions are in students´ instructions.
