They can also create a rule to automatically accept or decline appointments for a resource. To do so, they just have to proxy to the resource, then create a rule to accept all appointments if no appointment conflict exists. We've seen some confusion about how resources work. The hardest part for people to intuitively grasp is the odd notion that you have to invite the room to a meeting, along with the people. But that's exactly how it works.
Resources can include overhead projectors, cars, the company plane, the pool, and more.
But the most common kind of resource is conference rooms. When you are scheduling a meeting, you need to enter the Resource ID for the room you want in the To box, along with all the people you want to attend. It's in there, just like all the people. Depending on your luck, you could be inviting Toto, Bud Light, or Al Gore to your staff meetings. Resources can be included in a busy search, just as users can.
