III. Multi-Day Meeting

A multi-day meeting is different than a recurring meeting because there may be no specific pattern to it. Multi-day meetings are great for retreats, conferences, or general board meetings that will span more than one calendar day.

To create the date / time portion of the multi-day meeting:

  1. Enter the date and time of the first meeting as normal

  2. Click Create multi-day meeting

  3. Enter the date and time of the next meeting in the new boxes presented

  4. For additional dates and times, click Add date

  5. Continue to click Add date to enter additional dates and times as needed

    1. Note that Day 1 and Day 2 do not necessarily have to be a different date - there may be a meeting in the morning with a break and then another in the afternoon

    2. Each Day will simply create an additional meeting instance on the user's calendar

  6. Click the red x to remove a day added in error

  7. Continue to fill out the rest of the New Meeting Form

Note: After the multi-day meeting is published, each date will be added to invitees' calendars. When a user receives the notice, they will RSVP to the multi-day meeting only once. There will also only be one agenda.
