Creating Time Requests

Sundial also can be used to create time requests in advance of signing up for time. The process is identical to that for creating time requests using the Sand module (see the Sand help pages for more details).

A new (blank) time request can be displayed by clicking on New in either the Window menu in the Board or the Options menu in the main Sundial window. More often than not though, a user will want to search for an existing time request to use as a template. Move to the Time Request View and select one of the search options. Double-clicking on any of the returned time requests opens it in the Board. Users can then modify the time request, save it as a new request and submit it to the facility.

A few key things to remember are:
  • the first thing to do is select a permit
  • be sure to pick the correct billing period
  • pick the appropriate spectrometer
  • the time request must be Submitted before it can be used
