Room (conference room, lab, etc.)

1. 1. In the Attendees field, begin typing the name of the resource. Then click Search contacts and directory.
   2. You will see a list of accounts with that value in a scroll-able window. Select the room you want to invite. The name of the room will be added to the "Attendees" field.
   3. Enter the desired information within the rest of the event details and click the SEND button to initiate the event request.

Equipment (project/vacation/laptop, etc.)

1. 1. If you know the email address of the equipment, place the cursor within the Attendees field and enter the email address of the resource and continue to step 5.

   3. With the cursor placed within the "Attendees" field, start typing the name of the resource.
      NOTE: The search feature only searches from the beginning of the resource name. If you enter a word/term which is not from the start of the name, the resource will not be returned. You will either have to click on the Search contacts and directory link or you will be shown a list of all the resources which match the search term you entered.
   4. Select the resource from within the returned list. It will be added to the Attendees field. Repeat this process for any other attendee/resource you want to invite.
   5. Click the OK button. You will be returned to the event edit screen.
   6. Enter the desired information within the rest of the event details and click the SEND button to initiate the event request.

NOTE: You may want to use the Scheduling Assistant to verify if all the attendees, including the resource(s) you included, are available (free) before sending out the invitation.

NOTE: Depending on how the resource was configured, your invitation will either be automatically accepted or have to be accepted by the owner of the resource.
