Welcome to our new self-scheduling work space tool, Robin! LSA Technology Services has chosen this software as the new room and hotel desk reservation platform for our spaces. With this tool, you can self-reserve and manage your own bookings for spaces and desks.  Some spaces may still require approval by your department’s admin.

In the tool, you’ll be able to reserve a conference room or huddle room directly from your Google Calendar, view your calendar through the Robin platform, book desks and spaces with interactive maps, and book a desk on-the-go through the mobile app using a QR code (if your department has those available).  To get started, review the instructions on the following:

• Logging into the Self-Scheduling Reservation Platform
• User Settings
• Connecting your Google Calendar
• Booking a Room
• Booking a Desk
• How to Get Additional Help

Each page also has relevant articles from Robin’s Help Center as additional resources. If you notice anything missing or have any feedback, feel free to send a ticket to LSATechnologyServices@umich.edu.
