Checking to see who has
accepted or declined the appointment
There are two ways to check to see whether a person
has accepted or declined your appointment.
OPTION 1. Go into
the "Sent Items Folder" and look at the properties of
the appointment you sent. The recipients will all be listed with
their status.
|
| Click on the folder that says "Sent
Items". If you are missing this folder contact the Help Desk
(2-6900) for instructions on how to get it back.
Search through the items until you find the appointment that you
sent. Right click on the item and select "Properties".
The Appointment Properties will show the recipients of the appointment
, who opened it, who accepted it, and who declined it.
|
 |
OPTION 2. Set
the Appointment Notification to tell you when the parties have opened,
accepted or declined the appointment. The notification will be sent
to you in one of two ways: an email, or through notify. You select
which you prefer.
|
|
1. First go to the "Tools" menu in GroupWise.
2. Select "Options…"
3. Double click on the "Send" icon.
|
 |
|
4. Click on the "Appointment" tab.
5. Select "All information".
6. Choose the type of notification you would like under
"Return notification". When you press the arrows under
the three types of notifications ("When opened", "When
deleted", and "When accepted"), you will see a list
of four different ways you can be notified: None, Mail Receipt,
Notify, or Notify and Mail. NOTE: If you select
the option "Notify", be sure that you turn on the Notify
function of GroupWise.
7. Click "OK" when you have your "Return
notifications" set up the way you want them.
8. You must close out of GroupWise and re-enter in order for the
new settings to function.
|
 |
Recommended Settings for "Return notification":
Set "When opened" to "None", set "When
deleted" to "Mail Receipt", and set "When accepted"
to "Mail Receipt".
If you set the "When deleted" option you
will get a notice for three different reasons: 1. the person deletes
the appointment without reading it first, 2. the person cannot make
the meeting and declines the appointment 3. the person is cleaning
out their calendar later and purges old appointments. Keep in mind
that you may receive notifications well after the meeting took place.
