Proposing other persons for participation

The organizer of an appointment scheduling may allow participants to propose other participants. If this is the case, the invitation e-mail for an appointment scheduling also contains a link for proposing other persons for participation in the appointment, e.g. in case you yourself do not want to participate.

You propose other persons for participation in the appointment

      by clicking the “Propose participants” link of the invitation e-mail or by opening the appointment scheduling and clicking the [Propose participants] button in the appointment scheduling action form. If you are a member of the workspace that contains the appointment scheduling, you can also propose new participants by selecting action  Propose Participants  in the action menu of the appointment scheduling.

      In the ‘Propose Participants’ action form, you may select additional participants of the appointment (as you would select members of a workspace). You may also enter e-mail addresses of persons who are not registered users of your BSCW server; in the case of appointment scheduling, these persons can take part without registering as BSCW users.

      Click [OK] to either have the new participants directly invited or have the organizer informed about your proposal who will then decide about inviting the persons you have proposed.

Depending on the configuration of your BSCW server and the specification of the organizer of the appointment, the new participants proposed by you are either directly invited or have to be confirmed by the organizer. In the latter case, the organizer will receive an e-mail to that end. The organizer can also

      select action  Revise Proposals  in the action menu of the appointment scheduling.

      In the action form ‘Invite Proposed or New Participants’, the persons proposed for participation are already entered under ‘Users selected’.

      Hit [OK] to confirm participation. At this point, you may also add further participants.
