The User entry can take one of the following forms:

• A calendar ID. If you know the specific calendar ID onto which you want to schedule an event or task, enter it exactly. For example, if you know that you want to enter an event onto the football team calendar created by John Doe (jdoe) and you know that the calendar ID is jdoe:eagles, then you can enter it directly.

  You can enter a resource's calendar ID also. Resources are things like meeting rooms or equipment that must be checked out. Each room or item has an associated calendar. To reserve the room or check out the equipment, you must invite the resource to the event.

 

• A user ID. If you want to put an event on the default calendar for this user, enter the user ID. For example, if you want to send an event invitation to John Doe's default calendar, enter jdoe.

   

• An e-mail address. If your system is configured to do it, you can enter an e-mail address to put the corresponding calendar ID into your Invite or Inform list and the person will have the event scheduled to the calendar.

  If the system is not configured to do this, you will see a mailto: preceding the e-mail address in the Invite or Inform list. In this case, this event will not be automatically scheduled to the user's calendar. The user will get an e-mail notification only.

  If you enter mailto: before an e-mail address in the User input field, then the person receives only an e-mail notification. The event will not be automatically scheduled to the person's calendar. For example, you can enter mailto:jdoe@sesta.com.

If you don't know any of these values, or you want to invite or inform a user group, use the Search button corresponding to the Invite or Inform button. For instructions on how to use the search feature, see Searching for users.

The calendar ID or an e-mail address appears in the Invite list or Inform list.

If you make a mistake and want to remove someone from either list, select the name and then click Remove.
