FAQ

Q: Why does the schedule not open automatically at logon?

A: We have not been able to implement the feature yet.

Q: If the schedule changes, can the changes be viewed?

A: Lukkarikone is completely real-time, i.e. changes made in the room reservation system can immediately be seen in Lukkarikone.

Q: Can I narrow down a search or hide items e.g. depending on the information field contents?

A: This feature does not exist (not at least yet). Each schedule item is processed separately (room reservation) and would have to be hidden separately.

Q: Can a schedule be imported from Lukkarikone to Outlook or Gmail?

A: You can send a saved schedule to Metropolia email from the settings tab:

• Create a schedule - save it / or open a saved schedule
• On the Settings tab, click on Move to Outlook calendar

On the Settings tab you can also save a schedule in iCal format and save it to your e.g. Gmail calendar. Schedules cannot be ordered to Gmail calendar. Saving only a static schedule, describing your schedule as it is at a given moment, can be saved. Such a schedule is not updated automatically when exported in an iCal format. Use always Lukkarikone or the mobile Lukkarikone to get a current schedule!

Q: Can I use Lukkarikone with a direct link to a calendar of a specific group?

A:  No. You could try using ihana, the mobile version of Lukkarikone.

Q: Why can't I save my schedule?

A: You need to login first and then save your schedule through Settings menu. You can only access a saved schedule from Settings.

Q: Why don't I see my schedule when I login?

A: We are adding the feature to edit your default schedule in the near future.

Q: Why can't I save my schedule in my bookmarks or access it via direct link?

A: The system saves the users' schedule by using information accessed only by signing in. This feature provides security in all Metropolia systems and allows further personalisation.

Q: Why can't I see all items in my schedule?

A: Items were either inserted wrongly or not at all.

Q: Why don't I see future schedules?

A: You can only see schedules that are created/saved in Metropolia system.
