Location

You can type in the name of the location, or if it is a room that you wish to book, click on the Rooms button at the end of the Location field to search for the room you need.

In the Select Rooms: Global Address List window, click in the down arrow under Address Book and select All Rooms.

Search for the location you need, double click to select it and click the OK button. The room will now be added to the Location field in the New Meeting window.

Tip! To drop down to the list of rooms quickly, you can also type a tilde (~) in the search box and this will jump straight to the resources available. If you type your own text in the Location field and then decide to select a location from All Rooms in the Global Address List, you will see the following message.  "Do you want to update the current location '<Add the location>' with the new location (location name)?" Click Yes to replace the text in the Location field with what you have selected from the Global Address List.

When you have added your rooms, the Suggested times pane (on the bottom right-hand corner) will display any conflicts with the room or equipment you added.

Tip! If you do not see this pane on the right side of your screen, click on the Room Finder button on the Meeting tab in the Options group. For more information see: Using the Room Finder.

Start / End times and meeting details

Select the Start and End times or select all day event.

Tip! If you want to create an All day event but still make your Calendar available for bookings, choose Show as: Free in the Event tab in the Options group. If you choose Show as: Busy or Out of Office the whole day will be blocked out.

You can also add details of your meeting and attach any required files (Attach File) using the Insert tab in the toolbar in the Include group.
