Chapter 5. Group Scheduling

Currently KOrganizer can only schedule events using the IMIP-protocol for group scheduling. IMIP is a standard used by many other clients too. For example Microsoft® Outlook, Lotus Notes and Evolution. This means that you can share events with other users using one of these clients.

Acting as Organizer in Group Scheduling

In day and week view a little icon showing one tux is placed in the event, if you are the organizer of an group scheduling event.

Publishing an Event

If you simply want to send some other people an event, then click publish in the schedule menu, when the event is marked. Then a dialog appears, asking you for the email addresses you want to send this event.

Publishing events does not request an answer from the attendees.

Organizing an Event

Make a normal event, and add some attendees to the event. Then click on Schedule->Request. If you send your events through the outbox, you have to press Send Messages. Then you should get answers from the attendees in your inbox.

Cancel an Event

To cancel an event you have to be the organizer. Then simply select the event, and press Schedule->Cancel. This will send a cancel-message to all attendees. So if you use the outbox, you have to press the Send Messages. Then you should get answers from the attendees in your inbox.
