Facility Usage Agreement

A Facility Usage Agreement is a rental contract document that you can create in Facility Schedule. It will include details of the schedule request, terms and conditions, and any other pertinent information that you would like to add.

How to Create a Facility Usage Agreement

Creating a Facility Usage Agreement is a two step process. The first step is to establish the usage agreement form. *Note: You will only need to complete this process one time unless you need to update the document in the future.

 

  • Pull up a schedule in Facility Schedule. You can do this by typing the schedule number into the Search for box, then click Go. Hover your mouse over the Shortcuts menu then click on Facility Usage Agreement.
  • You will first need to customize the sample contract in Facility Schedule. Skip Step 1 and in Step 2, click on Get (next to contract/permit MS Word document sample).
  • A Word document will appear on your screen. Customize the document with items such as your organization logo, add terms and conditions, etc. Any text field with brackets («Location») will be filled in with the schedule information when the mail merge is complete.
  • When you have finished updating the document save it to your computer.

How to Complete the Mail Merge

Once you have saved your document, you are ready to start the mail merge process.

 

  • Pull up a schedule in Facility Schedule. You can do this by typing the schedule number into the Search for box, then click Go. Hover your mouse over the Shortcuts menu then click on Facility Usage Agreement.
  • Click Print in Step 1 to download the schedule details.
  • You will get a pop-up window on your screen which will prompt you to save the Excel file to your computer. The spreadsheet will contain details from the schedule that you will merge into your contract.
