Dear all,

as announced in a previous email we switched to Stratocore PPMS as a booking system for our Phytotrons today. From now on the old system in the MPL intranet will not be available anymore. You can reach PPMS via https://booking.vbc.ac.at

For an explanation on how to use PPMS to book our chambers use the tutorial at the following link: https://www.vbcf.ac.at/myvbcf-sim/stratocoreppms-quick-start-guide-plants/

All previous bookings have successfully been transferred to the new system, so no action is necessary on your side.

We know that the system is not perfectly suited for our use case, but it was necessary to migrate to a new system and as PPMS was already established we tried to use it as best as we could. If you have any issues or questions do not hesitate to contact us via plants@vbcf.ac.at

For MPL or external users (e.g. University of Vienna):

Please follow the outlined steps below to gain access to the booking system. This is necessary to synchronize your data and permissions. It might be the case that you are not able to book chambers until the next day.
