Just quick reminder to start the scheduling process by viewing and allocating the submitted BTRs through the OPS page (https://userportal.slac.stanford.edu/ops/ssrl/?beamTimeRequests#). To make the process more efficient for entering the schedules in the Portal, we have created a template for submitting your schedules to the user office (see template link).
Action items:
Inform the user office of any FACILITY/characterization, workshops, user training/demos, etc. planned for November 2025 -January 2026 by September 1, 2025
Inform if any BTRs require editing or cannot be accepted by August 25, 2025
Create your beam time schedules using this template link by September 12, 2025
If you want the user office to assist in creating the schedule, send your grouping by August 22, 2025
