Managing conflicts

Checking for conflicts when scheduling a meeting

When scheduling a meeting, you can check if the meeting causes a conflict for any of the invitees.

1. Schedule a meeting. See Creating a meeting entry for more information.

2. Click Check Conflicts at the bottom section of the Meeting dialog box.

   If the meeting causes a conflict for any of the users or resources you invited to the meeting, the Details of Conflict dialog box opens and displays which users and resources have conflicts with the meeting you are creating.

3. If you want to view information about a conflict with a user's Agenda or resource's availability, select the user or resource from the list. The amount of information displayed depends on the access rights you were granted by the selected user or by the resource owner.

You can choose to modify the time of your meeting. See Suggesting a date or time for instructions on finding a meeting time that is convenient for all meeting invitees.

Managing conflicts when rescheduling a meeting

The Conflict Found dialog box appears if you attempt to reschedule a meeting to a time that causes a conflict for one or more of the invitees.

• If you click Yes, you will reschedule the meeting to the new date and time you chose, ignoring the conflicts.

• If you click No, the meeting will not be rescheduled.

• If you click View, the Details of Conflict dialog box opens enabling you to view more information about the conflict.
