Calendars

Responding to Calendar Requests

New calendar invitations will arrive in the InBox just like new email messages.  Opening the message will display the description, organizer, date/time, location and attendees.

Clicking the Accept button sends a notice to the meeting organizer that you will be attending the meeting, automatically adds the entry to your calendar and removes the notice from your InBox.

Clicking the Decline button sends a notice to the meeting organizer notifying them that you will not be attending the meeting. The event is not addded to your calendar but the notice is removed from your InBox.

Clicking the Tentative button sends a notice to the meeting organizer notifying them that you are tentatively planning to attend the meeting, automatically adds the entry to your calendar and removes the entry from your InBox.

The organizer will receive the response notice in her InBox with the response as the subject.

When you reply, the organizer is prompted to update her calendar entry with the reply.  The organizer then selects the Update button to update the attendee status with the response by the individual. This changes an "UNCONFIRMED" status to " ACCEPTED," "DECLINED " or "TENTATIVE".
