MANAGING POTENTIAL MEETING CONFLICTS

摘要

Management of potential meeting conflicts is provided to allow extending a meeting beyond the original booking period of a room, or other resource, as well as automatically coordinate and/or adjust the resource bookings of affected meetings with the owner's consent of the affected meetings. The coordination satisfies the criteria set by a meeting owner for the affected meeting and/or global criteria defined at the organization level. Any change in the resource as part of the coordination and/or adjustment is communicated to the affected participants and/or resource manager via a specified communication channel, such as an instant message.
