Garoon has a feature that enables you to write a comment for Scheduler.
The followings are some examples of using the comment field.

• Notify all attendees of a schedule change in the comment field.
• Use the comment field to tell others that you might be late for the next meeting because it seems that the previous meeting will not end on time.
• To have a smooth discussion in the meeting, use the comment field in advance to collect topics and information to be shared before the meeting.

The comment with the latest updated date and time comes on the top.
You can notify those who do not attend the appointment of your message by posting a comment using "@Mention".
If you use "@Attendees", you can notify all appointment attendees of your message as "@To me".

The following actions are not allowed for the scheduler comment.

• Attaching Files
• Using the anchor feature
  The anchor feature is a feature that creates a link to any comment by adding a ">> (single-byte less-than sign)" followed by the comment number.

You can post a comment to the schedule.
When you post a comment to a repeating appointment, only the appointment that you have placed a comment will be changed to a regular appointment.

1. Click the app icon in the header.

2. Click Scheduler.

3. On the "Scheduler" screen, click the title of the appointment you want to post a comment.

4. If you want to specify all appointment attendees as recipients, click "@Attendees" in the comment field on the "Appointment details" screen.

   By using "@Attendees", you can specify all attendees of an appointment as recipients with one action, rather than specifying them one by one.

   • Notifications:
     All appointment attendees will receive "@To me" notification.
     However, if an organization is included in the appointment attendees, users who belong to the organizations will not receive notifications.
   • Attendance:
     In the case of appointments with attendance response request feature enabled, attendees will be included in the "@Attendees" recipients even if they already chose not to attend or they have not answered.
   • Shared with:
     The "Shared with" users are not included in the "@Attendees" recipients.
   

5. If a comment is for specific users, click "@Mention" in the comment field on the "Appointment details" screen.

   

   In the recipient, you can specify users, departments, and roles.
   When the system administrator allows users to configure the role, you can specify roles as recipients.
   Recipients which can be specified vary according to the types of recipients.

   Type of Recipient	Recipient which can be specified
   Users	For public appointments: Users who satisfy all the conditions can be specified as recipients. For private appointments: Following users can be specified as recipients. Users who have the view privileges for the appointments Users who have been set as attendees or "Shared with" of the appointments
   Organization	All organizations can be specified as recipients. However, if a department is specified as a recipient in a private schedule, only users who are specified as attendees or "Shared with" of the appointment will receive the notifications.
   Role	All roles can be specified as recipients. However, if a role is specified as a recipient in a private schedule, only users who are specified as attendees or "Shared with" of the appointment will receive the notifications.
