The start of the time slot reservation (From) is automatically chosen according to the mouse position in the Lecturer's Specifications window. You can edit the start of the time slot, but you must define the end of the time slot (To).
The group for which you wanted to make the reservation is automatically chosen. You can choose other groups, rooms and lecturers and make reservations for them at the same time. E.g. you can make a reservation for part time students from Monday till Friday, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and from the 1st until the 15th week.
To confirm reservations, click the Confirm button. You return to the Group Occupancy window, where the inserted reservations are shown. You can varify with the slider if the reservations are inserted in proper weeks. Then click the Confirm button again.
If you do not want to save changes, click the Cancel button.
