<title>Sending a Meeting Invitation</title>
<p>When you create a meeting (group appointment), you can specify the
attendees in several categories, such as "chair" or "required". When you save
the meeting listing, each attendee is sent an email with the meeting
information, which also gives them the option to respond.</p>
<p>If you do not need to collect attendance information when you're
scheduling an event, and would rather just announce the event, right-click
the meeting and select <gui>Forward as iCalendar</gui>. This opens a new
email message with the event notification attached as an announcement.
Recipients can add the event to their calendars with one click, but it will
not automatically send you email about whether they plan to attend.</p>
<p>To schedule a meeting:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Click
<guiseq><gui>File</gui><gui>New</gui><gui>Meeting</gui></guiseq>.</p>
</item>
<item>

selecting an item in the <gui>Organizer</gui> field.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select a calendar in the <gui>Calendar</gui> drop-down list.</p>
</item>

<gui>All Day Event</gui> button on the toolbar.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select the date and time.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>If the event is not an all day event, select either <gui>For</gui> to

time of the event.</p>

for the attendees, click the <gui>Free/Busy</gui> button on the toolbar,
or click <guiseq><gui>Options</gui><gui>Free/Busy</gui></guiseq>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click <gui>Save</gui> to save the meeting.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>An email is sent out to all the recipients, inviting them to your
event.</p>
<p>You can also define a <link xref="calendar-timezones">time zone</link>, a
<link xref="using-categories">category</link>, a
<link xref="calendar-alarms-and-reminders">reminder</link>, a
<link xref="calendar-recurrence">recurrence</link>, or a
<link xref="calendar-classifications">classification</link> for the event, or
add an attachment.</p>
<note style="tip">
<p>In <app>Evolution</app>, a meeting can have only one organizer, and only
the organizer can add participants to that meeting. Though it is possible
to change the organizer of a meeting, this is not recommended as a means to
invite additional participants to meetings. If you want to invite
additional people to a meeting and are not that meeting's organizer, it is
recommended that you forward the invitation message you received from the
original meeting organiser to additional participants.</p>
