For many reasons, the Calander function and Appointments tend to rule my
work day.
However, I am in a larg org ( Government body) and we have offices across
the city..
Not every one has full access (Privacy and HR issues), but most can see if
time is booked etc. Many fail to take any notice of the coding that
indicates if out of office etc..
Problem is that; I will be booked on one side of the city (9:00am to
10:30am) and some one will book me 10:30 to 11:30. But they are on the
other side... Thus I can not make it, and often it means, a number of calls
to get a new meeting time.. In addition ther are always the other trips,
that involve significant travel out of town.
In addition, while there is a travel / setup / debrief component both pre
and post appointment to consider. The other issue is, that I often have to
book a portable projector (if not in the room) and the room.
Thus my ideal system would have an extra feature when it comes to
appointments.
1: If creating the appointment, I can invite attendies, include myself and
rescources, but apply a pre and post time component on my self. Just two
little extra field to the right of the Start / End (all day event) times.
2: If reciving an appointment, and when accepting then the ability to be
able to apply a pre and post time component on my self.
3: It could even be a default time to be applied when ever the time is "out
of office". Note: Pre is often shorter than the Post for many reasons.
At present... I end up waisting time to book extra appointments for both the
pre and post meeting times......
Is this just me wanting more, or is this a feature that would be of use to
many busy people that are on the road ?
So how does one request an enhancement ?
