Adding an Appointment

 

You can add appointments to your Calendar and, if appropriate, invite other attendees. You may also be invited to attend an appointment by another team member, in which case, the appointment is automatically added to your calendar.

Note: The global Calendar and the Workspace Calendar share data. Any appointment added in one calendar displays in both. For information about the two calendars, see Calendar Overview.

To add an Appointment on the calendar:

  1. Open the global Calendar or the workspace Calendar.
  2. In the global Calendar, click Create Appointment on the Toolbar,
    or
    If you are using the workspace Calendar, click Calendar on the Workspace Menu, then click Create Appointment.
    Note: You can also click Add on the toolbar of the Month, Day or Appointment List views.

    The Create New Appointment screen displays in a new window.
    Note:
    Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
  3. If you have the option to choose the workspace in which to create the appointment, select the workspace from the Workspace list.
    Note:
    Only those workspaces you are a member of are listed.

    Additional fields display so you can specify the frequency of the recurrence:
