ML Schedules Reviews

I find ML Schedules as an effective tool in scheduling meeting spaces and connecting those spaces with other departments within our academic environment that could enhance our gathering experience. I like how I can see what rooms are available around the building on the main calendar and how they are color coded per event. It is easy to log in, review room availability and sign up for a space within minutes…

I have not found anything difficult or inefficient about using this software…

ML Schedules software is shockingly easy and very affordable. We love the SSO integration with Google and the outstanding support we receive from the team at Master Library.

There are always unique use cases that fall outside of an application's scope. There isn't one particular thing that comes to mind, but you just find little things here and there that are different than what you envision. The support team has done an amazing job trying to find solutions and workarounds. When one isn't available, they move the suggestion to the development team. We often find the suggestion is incorporated in a future release.

Easy to enroll in online program, easy to use, bright & colorful calendar events.

The amount of time that it took for several events to appear on the calendar. We schedule weekly meetings with parents/children and sometimes we wouldn't know if the booking was verified until the day of the meeting (when no one else showed up).

ML Schedules is so user friendly. All of our User Group information, and every detail about their request is so easy to view across multiple departments at our District.

It would be helpful if our users were unable to view a draft invoice before it was ready. We still use QuickBooks to send out our invoices and sometimes new groups are confused being able to view their draft invoice in ML Schedules before all charges have been added.

The scheduling system meets the needs of our athletic programs. Still trying to learn all the different options that are available. The notifications that go out to other groups/schools when there are changes made in the schedule.

The bugs that need to be worked out. Receiving changes in schedules for schools / teams that are not associated with our school. Notifications that are not related to any of my schedules.

From the user side inputting & approving events are easy. On the admin side setting up fields & approval paths are easy.

Sometimes updates get pushed out that change things that I know about until a user contacts me. (As an admin I have full access so I don't notice if a lower user's abilities change.)

Compared to our district's previous paper-based system, this creates a much needed 21st century solution for our busy and growing needs. The system allows the district to monitor all user groups, maintain anonymity, and create timely notifications of cancellations. Also, all of the approvals from the required personnel is a key feature, so no one can say they didn't know and no location can get double booked.

Because the system can do so much, and we use so many fields and rooms, it can still be a lot to navigate. The field filters could be a little better, and perhaps some more training/videos would be helpful.

The master calendar feature is awesome for managing many different buildings and spaces!

Making sure the rates calculate correctly after making changes and/or adding custodial services.

ML Schedules was easy to set up, learn to use and revise as users leave and are added to the organization. Customer support has been outstanding.

It's a bit "clunky" to add new users to District "additional notify" distribution lists

Entering a request is very straightforward and notification of those who need to know about the event and event support like maintenance is built in. Customer service is amazing. Our needs don't require all of the functions of the software, but they have worked to tailor it to what we need. Real replies to tickets happen within the hour 99% of the time.

I think integration was a bit tricky because we use the software to a great extent for communication with the whole community and the public calendar display is very important. It took a while to hammer that out.

ML Schedules helps us allow the community to borrow our public school facilities, such as gyms, cafeterias, performing arts centers and athletic fields. Groups in the community know how to check the calendar for availability and make requests to reserve a space. Fees are automatically calculated for the user so they have an idea what to expect to be billed.

Some features are not easy to find. While the program offers many personalization features, they are not always in the first place you'd expect. ML Schedules offers a great website and help forum as a tool to help find these features. Until you have gotten familiar with the program, it is not the most user friendly system I've used.

fairly easy to read and good format with options of daily, weekly, or monthly.

scheduling request, such as submitting a new event. I could be easier to use. Right now when you submit an event the system ask for a start time and then ask for set up in minutes and the requestor gets confused.

This product is very easy to use and self teaching. The icons it give to show you updates with tips and tricks are very explanatory. I was able to figure out the system on my own using it for the first time in my job and love using it ever since.

As of now I have not found something that I do not like about the system. I do have some features that I yet have not used but I have no complaints as of right now.

It is very easy to schedule and reserve rooms using ML Schedules.

When scheduling more than one date all the dates do not show up on the monthly calendar, can only see if you go in to edit.

When used properly this software provides excellent communications to all users of scheduled building use and needed facilities repairs.

Occasional users must have periodical training

Very easy to use, I am not a tech savvy person and can maneuver easily through the software.

I have not experienced anything that has deterred me from using it.

I like that it ties to both our events, and we also use it to submit work tickets for our maintenance staff.

N/A There are many features that I find difficult to use.

First time user (education field) software is user friendly. Conflict feature saves lots of time overbooking space. At a glance you can see everything happening for the day, week, month. Reporting and invoicing is easy.

Sometimes the google calendars don't sync correctly. Could be something on our end.

The great thing his it integration with ML WorkOrders

WE are very satisfied and would not change anything

I like the being able to communicate through the emails that can be sent about changes/updates to my renters.

I wish invoices would update with changes.

This software is relatively easy to use and efficient. I use it (almost daily) with no problems. I am only a user, but I like the software.

I don't know of any improvements necessary in the capacity that I use the software.

The product is easy to use and to be able to keep everything in one place. It serves the purpose for what I need for now.

I would like to be able to copy my events into a google calendar

The product is pretty easy to manage as well as user friendly. I'm able to pull up the calendar of events pretty fast and easy, to determine space availability and schedule needed events

I work for a public school. When I access the system, it would be nice to have an option that allows for only my school calendar to pull up automatically when reviewing availability. If there is that option, I may have missed that in my training.

Ease of use. Easy to navigate to each field. No training required to complete a request.

I would prefer the calendar availability be shown earlier in the registration process.

Once the modest learning curve is overcome, it is easy to reserve spaces and see what you have reserved. It makes planning much easier and more efficient.

There is a modest learning curve the first few times you use it.
