Consider using a FirstClass calendar. Instead of sending out printed memos and filling out request forms, you can use a group calendar in FirstClass to invite participants, reserve multimedia resources, and book locations. Here is a comparison of the conventional way you may book resources and how you would do it in FirstClass. [Image:92203_31828_0.png] [Image:9203_31709_1.png] Example Michael Green is vice president of Sales and Marketing at Husky Planes. Several times a year he showcases the company's newest products for his sales staff. His presentations usually consist of a promotional videotape from the Marketing department accompanied by a slide presentation. Michael schedules the presentation, invites members of the sales department, and books the boardroom and multimedia resources all at the same time. He doesn't have to leave his office to ensure that his presentation goes off without a hitch. Here are the steps he takes to handle the arrangements: STEP 1: Schedule presentation Michael schedules the presentation in the Sales Dept Calendar by creating a new event entitled New Product Promo. This is the new event he created. [Image:8102006_91145_0.png] STEP 2: Reserve venue Each resource or location Michael wishes to book has its own calendar. When he schedules an event, he simply enters the name of the resource calendar or location calendar on the Scheduling tab of the event he is booking. If there is a time conflict, it will show immediately and he can decide how to handle it. Michael reserves the company's mid-sized boardroom using the Scheduling tab. STEP 3: Reserve resources Michael also reserves a large screen television, a video cassette recorder, and a video projector. This is the Scheduling tab where he books the resources. [Image:882006_33623_2.png] When he entered his requests on the Resources tab for the New Products Promo event, a new event appeared in each item's calendar. Husky Planes' IT department monitors the resource and location calendars and ensures that requested equipment is ready for use when scheduled. This is the calendar for the video projector that John booked. [Image:882006_32721_0.png] STEP 4: Invite participants Michael invites the members of the sales department by entering their names on the Scheduling tab. From this screen, he sees who may have a time conflict. He adjusts the date and time as needed (the booked times for the resources and locations will also change automatically). The presentation will then appear in each of their personal calendars. This is the Scheduling tab where he invites participants. [Image:882006_33910_4.png] [Image:9203_31709_1.png] Variation If Michael has content he wishes to share before the presentation, he can attach it to the calendar event at the time of scheduling or type it in the text box on the event form. This is the event he created. He attached a file for review and included an agenda in the text area. [Image:882006_32224_4.png]

Disk Mirroring tab

Use this tab to enable/disable mirroring.

Enable disk mirroring for this volume	Enables mirroring for this volume. This is the full-use volume your post office currently resides on.
Mirror to	A folder containing mirrored versions of your post office contents will be created on the volume you choose here. Choose any full use volume on your system. This can include the volume the post office currently resides on; however, if you are using your mirror to provide redundancy in the event of hardware failure, we do not recommend using this volume.
Threshold	Enter the number of faults to be detected before attempting resynchronization. The default is 100 and the minimum value is 10. Large systems and systems with heavy Internet and news groups usage should set this to a higher value.
Force full resynchronization of mirror volume contents	Deletes existing mirrored contents and replaces them with the newly mirrored contents. Select this if you have made any changes to your post office, such as replacing it with a backup.
