Tracking XPRESSO Events

XPRESSO provides the following tracking features to help you monitor and manage your lab resources and to provides a single point-of-control mechanism to allow you schedule and track Job Runs and reservations:

• Reservations: With the XPRESSO reservation system, users can manage testbed availability for the time reserved on the testbed that guarantees the testbed is available to them and eliminates the risk of double bookings & maximizes resource utilization. You can create "First Available" or "Pick My Time" Reservations in XPRESSO in advance of your testing requirements to guarantee system resources for a specific date, time, and duration. You can view all configured Reservations on the Calendar or on the Reservations page (Reservations tab).

• Job Schedule: You can use Job Scheduling to automate the execution of Jobs instead of having to manually initiate (kick-off) individual Jobs every time. Job Scheduling provides a single point-of-control mechanism to allow you to create a new schedule for a Job run, monitor all pending schedules (in tandem with the Calendar), and manage all pending/in-progress/expired schedules as they are constantly being created, updated, executed, and managed by XPRESSO.

• Calendar: The Calendar provides an at-a-glance graphical timeline to track all pending and previously configured/booked Reservations and scheduled Job Runs on a monthly basis; events are color-coded to help you distinguish between event types. You can also perform ongoing CRUD operations/functions on calendar events to fine-tune and manage your testing requirements/operations.
