Calendar Help - Events

Use the following procedure to search for users:
1. From the Edit Event window, click Search (next to the Invite button).

The User Search window opens.

2. Enter the user ID, user group ID, or common name of the person you wish to invite.

If you want to find a resource, such as a conference room or a piece of equipment, enter its common name, or a fragment of the name.

If you are not sure of the spelling of a person's name, you can enter a fragment.

For example, if you are looking for Jack Stephensen, but you aren't sure of the spelling, you could just enter steph. The search results will list all names containing that string of letters. If you enter fewer than three letters, the search results could be incomplete. If there are too many search results, the list will be truncated (incomplete).

Note: User groups are not the same as the calendar sets you create in Calendar. Only your calendar system administrator can create user groups.

3. Click Search.
4. Select the checkbox next to the name of the person, user group, or resource you were looking for.

It is possible to get multiple results from your search, especially if you only use a fragment. But even if there is only one result, you must select the checkbox to have it added to your attendee list. If you choose a user group, the group will be expanded so that the individual members appear on the attendee list.

5. (Optional) Click Apply if you wish to keep the User Search window open and perform additional searches.

All of the names you checked off are added to the Already Selected Users list (found below the Search Results list). You can then perform additional searches. All the names you check off in each search will be added to the list.

6. (Optional) Deselect users by selecting the checkboxes next to their names in the Already Selected Users list.
7. Click OK when you have finished searching for users.

The User Search window closes and the names you have selected appear on the attendee list in the Edit Event window.
