Event window: Attendee Invitation

Every user having a SISSA e-mail box could be “an event organizer” and could invite some SISSA users or users with NO SISSA e-mail box to attend at his/her event. This event could belong to:

• one of the “event organizer” calendars OR
• a shared calendar belonging to another user but on which the “event organizer” have the access right to modify or/and add a new event.

An e-mail, containing the information inserted by the organizer about the event, will be sent to the attendees.
This e-mail include CalDAV event objects, if the invited users use SISSA calendar or an external calendar program, he/she can confirm his attendance selecting this event from his/her calendar main window.

If you are an “event organizer”, you have to a include the e-mail address of the attendees during the creation or modification of the event, so:

• 1) click on the Invite Attendee icon in the toolbar of the event window.

Another window will appear:

• 1) the first field on the left contains the organizer's name and e-mail address (in the example it starts with “HE” the last part has been deleted for privacy);
• 2) the red line is the actual time, the blue rectangle is the time reserved to the event;
• 3) click on Add Attendee to insert attendee e-mail address;
  • on the left the dialog window will change, allowing you to insert attendee e-mail addresses (if the attendee is a SISSA user, writing his/her name or a part of it, the program will show you a list of users from which you can select the right one). Add how many attendees you need … You should modify the “participant type” clicking on the icon positioned on the left of the name.
• . . . . . . . In the following example we inserted three attendee e-mail addresses . . . . . . .
• 4) the second field contains a SISSA user e-mail address and it is followed by gray color because this attendee is free or:
  • this attendee could have activated the Show Time as Free option in his events taking place at the same time frame or
  • he/she could have set the None access right to his/her calendars.
• 5) the third field contains a NO SISSA user e-mail address, and it is followed by pink color because it is not possible for the program to check if he/she is busy or free;
• 6) the fourth field contains a SISSA e-mail address of a user who allowed the organizer to check if he is free or not during the frame time of the event. So the gray colored area indicate free hours, blue area indicate his/her busy hours;
• 7) To confirm the attendees' list and close this window, click on the OK button. IF there is one ore more attendee events which timetable conflicts with the timetable of your event, a message will appear: A time conflict exists with one or more attendees. Would you like to keep the current settings anyway? To confirm the attendees list, click on the OK button of the message window.

.

In the event window,

• 1) now you can see attendees' names (or an e-mail address if it's an external account),
• 2) to confirm the inserted/modified event data, click on Save and Close on the top left of the event window.
