You can use the calendar to invite attendees to an event, manage attendee responses, and send notifications of any changes. This feature is compatible with all iCal-compliant calendar applications. To invite attendees to an event, perform the following steps:
- In the Calendar, double-click the event for which you want to manage invitations. Or, right-click the event and select Open Event.
- In the Invite section, click the Add button.
- Do one of the following:
- Enter an email address in the box and click the Add button.
- Click the Contacts link to select from contacts in your contact list. Select a contact list from the drop-down menu. Select the contact you want to invite, and then click the > button. Use Ctrl-click to select multiple contacts. When you're done, click the OK button.
- To remove an attendee, click the attendee's name and then click the Remove button.
- When you are done adding attendees, click the Save button.
- Click the Save button again.
- You will be prompted to indicate whether you want to send invitations to the attendees (or to specific attendees only, if you changed the list). When you send invitations, attendees are able to automatically send you a response, indicating that they have accepted, tentatively accepted, or declined your invitation.
Note: To view your attendees, and the status of each attendee’s response, double-click the event, and then click the Attendees link.
