What is a Faces Group?
Each manager must specify a name for his/her working group. Clients will enter this word
when logging in to use the Faces schedules.
Here are some examples:
CCRC --- The Complex Carbohydrate Research Center.
ACIF --- Analytical Chemistry Instrumentation Facility
UGA-BCMB --- The University of Georgia Biochemistry Department
What is a Resource?
A resource is anything that you would like to schedule on a first-come,
first-served basis. The Faces Scheduling System is designed for (but not limited to)
making schedules for scientific instruments.
Where is my data hosted?

Georgia so resource managers do not need to install any software on their own server.
