Suggested Content To Include On Your District’s Facility Usage Web Page

One major benefit of ML Schedules™ Software is the ability to allow community members to complete and submit a Facility Use Request from a school district’s website.

Here is some content that districts have found helpful to include when integrating ML Schedules™ Software for community use into their web sites.

Notes:

• The website’s Facility Department web page is typically used to link to a Facility Use Request page that contains the content described below.
• All linked URLs need to be from your district’s State login page (e.g., http://ny.mlschedules.com/Login.aspx  for New York State).

The following graphics can be linked to the software’s Create an Account and Login screens.
