SUMMARY

The Auto Accept Meeting Requests and Auto Remove Canceled Meetings features allow meetings to be automatically created or removed from your calendar when no conflicting appointments exist. These automatic features function even if the account is not configured as a resource account.

NOTE: This functionality is different from earlier versions of Schedule+.

MORE INFORMATION

The Auto Accept Meeting Requests and Auto Remove Canceled Meetings features are client processes that function while the Schedule+ or Microsoft Exchange Inbox are running. While the Schedule+ and Microsoft Exchange Inbox are inactive (not running), these processes wait until you start the programs.

NOTE: When you select the "This Account is for a Resource" option in the General Options dialog box (accessed by clicking General Options on the Options menu), meetings are accepted or removed automatically when the Schedule+ or Microsoft Exchange Inbox is not running for that resource account.

The originator of a meeting request can view another attendee's Schedule+ file (assuming he or she has access privileges). The originator can see the meetings being added to the calendar, the scheduled and non-scheduled times from the Planner, and the status of the meeting requests (a question mark if the appointment has not been replied to or is tentative, a red X if the appointment was declined, or a green check mark if the meeting was accepted by each attendee.

NOTE: When the "Work Primarily from Local file" option is selected, the originator can not see the meeting being added to the calendar automatically. (To locate this option, on the Tools menu, click Options, and click the Synchronize tab.) The originator of the meeting request must close and then reopen the attendee's schedule to see the updated calendar.

These Auto Accept Meeting Requests and Auto Remove Canceled Meetings features are not affected by the default access permissions. For example, a user who has Delegate Owner permissions does not have permission to automatically create or remove meetings from the calendar unless the Schedule+ account is open. The default access permission is set to None.
