Here are ideas (coming from the Europe Innovation Hub discussion forum) about the Lotus Notes calendar functions: 1) When a user receives an invitation, he would need a "propagate" function whereby he submits back to the meeting owner a list of names to be invited in addition to the original list, with a feature enabling him to see what action the owner has taken (reject, pend, accept and invite...). 2) After a user has accepted an invitation, he cannot see other participants that have either remove their acceptance or who have been accepted after he has accepted the invitation. Therefore he cannot stay up-to-date with the current list of invitees. Would it be possible to have "refresh" button to see all updates. 3) Sometimes a user declines a meeting but he would still like to attend it. The feature "keep informed of meeting update" is not meeting expectations. Reason is that the user would like to see a calendar entry for this meeting, not booking his time, but as a reminder that he declined it and would accept it if something else changes. In short, it is a "decline with souvenir" function that we need: put a calendar entry, do not book time in the agenda, leave the option to accept or reject it later on. 4) After a meeting took place, a user can write minutes. In all minutes, we have time, location (optional) and the list if invitees or participants. Currently, he has to retype this set of information that already exists in a calendar invitation. It is a waste of time. Would there be a possibility to transform a calendar invitation into a meeting minutes (e.g. a normal e-mail containing above information and having the addresses and subject pre-filled)? The agenda could be copied as optional. 5) Every user has conference call numbers he needs to add for any call he leads. There is no convenient way to do it apart from this video quick tip. Could we get this "add my calling numbers" and/or "add my LotusLive meeting features...".
6) Most people complain about lack of awareness of colleagues being on vacation/education... Vacation planner is a good tool, not used by everybody, but a bit heavy. Would it make sense to have a check box in Lotus Notes calendar, when we set up an absence, that we could check to say "make it public" so that managers/team leaders can get a view of it in their own calendar when they select a "calendar team view"?
