In July of 1998 the Campus Network Committee (CNC) accepted the recommendation of the Electronic Scheduling Advisory Group (ESAG) that CorporateTime from CS&T (then Steltor, now part of Oracle) be embraced as a campus-wide solution for electronic scheduling and calendaring.
From the ESAG report to the CNC: "An Electronic Scheduling and Calendaring system allows you to maintain your personal agenda or calendar in a single location that can be accessed from your office computer, home computer, or a Palm Pilot. With the appropriate group and permission assignments you can view the schedules of multiple people. Provided you and the people that you want to meet with either use the same system, or use a system configured for cross calendaring, you can use the scheduling function to determine dates and times when all of the meeting participants are available to attend your meeting and then have an invitation to that meeting automatically posted on their calendar. If appropriate, you even can assign a designate to manage your calendar and respond to meeting invitations for you."
Fill out the online form, "CorporateTime Account Request Form."
This information will also be used to update the campus on-line directory service. Once your account has been set up, you wi ll be contacted to arrange installation of the client software and any required training. The server that you will be using is iscsched.isc.ucsb.edu
Information Systems & Computing (IS&C) is providing the CorporateTime Server.
To download any of the software, click on this link - you will need to use your web server username and password to log in.
Windows or Mac: Start the Oracle Calendar application and log in with your assigned username & password. Verify the server is set to: iscsched.isc.ucsb.edu
Linux or Solaris: At the prompt, type "ctime". Type your assigned username & password. Verify the server is set to: iscsched.isc.ucsb.edu
Web Version: go to http://iscsched.isc.ucsb.edu, type in your username & password.
All Physics Dept. Faculty and Staff have been assigned CorporateTime accounts.
CorporateTime is a campus-wide system. Over 1262 accounts have been set up as of November 2, 1999. To see if a non-Physics person is in CorporateTime use the "Directory Search" feature.
CorporateTime is a very powerful tool that gives you the ability equivalent to walking into someone's office and writing an event on their desk calendar or personal time management system. The CNC CorporateTime Implementation Group has some guidelines that you might want to consider when you decide how to best use CorporateTime.
