The system and method of the present invention provides automatic tools and visual hints to a meeting host who is scheduling a meeting to book meeting related resources more efficiently by utilizing pre provided profile information and additional meta data from meeting confirmations. When host schedules a meeting, he selects the location information and checks the "visual" flag if needed. Any point in time, each attendee fills in user profile information. Upon accepting invitation, each attendee fills in the type of attendance field. Each attendee, after accepting invite, can change the type of participation by going to the calendar system and changing his settings. The change will be sent to the server to update the scheduled meeting object. A reservation system that is connected to the scheduling system would then collect information about the meeting type and required resource allocated and make the necessary bookings accordingly. The auto assigned resources can include (but are not limited to): conference room-if invitees plan to attend in-person conference room with projector-if invitees plan to attend in-person and visual information to be present dial in conference call number-if remote invitees attending the meeting online meeting-if remote invitees attending the meeting, if meeting scheduled with visual information to be present.
