New Appointment

Create an appointment for users or facilities. However, the facilities cannot be set for the following appointments.

  • Overlapping appointments
  • All day appointments
  • Appointments without start time and end time
Shared Appointments

The shared appointment is a useful feature to share your appointment information with users other than attendees.
For example, you can use the shared appointment in the following cases.

  • Share the business meeting information with you manager without asking them to attend the meeting
  • Share the communication in the comment field of an appointment with users who do not attend the appointment

Shared appointments and appointments in which you are registered as an attendee are displayed in the different areas, so you can easily track your appointments that you need to attend. It is easy to find available time slots to adjust an appointment, because other users' shared appointments are not displayed.
Shared appointments are displayed only in users' Scheduler screen.
However, if the total number of organizations and roles the users belong to is 51 or more, they cannot see the shared appointments on the Scheduler screen.
