Synchronization – additional information

Appointments can be synchronized in both directions by the Groupware. In case of synchronized appointments from the CRM into the Groupware, the attendees are informed via email from the Group­ware.

Attention

Attention: When exporting appointments to the groupware, additional information can be output before the closing body tag. The additional information is suitable for notifying internal appointment attendees but should be removed or checked thoroughly for appointments with external attendees.

Automatic reset of the attendee status on appointment changes

If the location, beginning or end of an appointment is modified, then you can specify by means of a variable that specific appointment attendee statuses are reset. In the CRM standard, these are all non-final statuses (confirmed, no reply, declined.). This results in all participants for whom one of these statuses is set being automatically prompted to agree again after a change of location or date.

Info

Admin: The variable PSA_APM_MOD_CLR_CON_STA lets you specify the appoint­ment attendee statuses to be reset if the location, beginning or end changed. For this, enter the identifiers of the activ­ity contact statuses that should be reset.
