Creating conferences


	Contents Creating conferences Setting conference permissions Specifying mail handling rules for conferences Creating conferences Note If you just want to create a simple shared area, you can create a workspace instead. Creating a workspace is more straightforward than creating a conference. The tradeoff is that you have more control over conference behavior. You can create conferences just as your administrator does. If you have trouble getting your conferences to work as you expect, contact your administrator. To create a conference: 1 Open the container where you want the conference. 2 Choose New Conference from the Create field. 3 Select the template you want your conference to use. 4 Name your conference. Select it and click Rename. After your conference has been created, you can: • open it to customize the view • update conference properties on the Info form. 5 Set conference permissions. Top Setting conference permissions To specify the permissions for your conference: 1 Open the conference. 2 Click Permissions. 3 Update the Permissions form. We recommend that you select "Do not publish in Directory", so that your conference isn't in the Directory. This lets you name the conference whatever you want, without worrying about finding a unique name, and prevents users who shouldn't be seeing your conference from knowing about it.
