  • When it is turned On, the user has to mark the maintenance as completed in the Scheduler so that the instrument is released for the next reservation. If the user does not release the instrument from maintenance reservation, the maintenance reservation is automatically extended by one hour and all the following impacted reservations are postponed as well. In addition, the reminder notifications are sent out to the appropriate users.
  • When it is turned Off, marking a maintenance reservation as completed becomes optional for the user. In this case, the maintenance reservation is not automatically extended if the user does not mark the reservation as completed.

For more information, refer to "Mark a reservation as completed" in the Ardia Instruments Application User Guide.
