Meeting Maker 8.5 New Features

Meeting Maker now contains several new features that were not available in version 7.x. Changes include:

• The new Text View offers a simple way of looking at your events.

  From the left taskbar, select View as Text.

• You can now create recurring banners. Recurring banners also now synchronize with Palm device no-time events.

  Create banner as normal. From the Occurs Once drop down list set options.

• The Task Bar on the left side of the Main Window allows you to quickly access common tasks.

  You can shrink the Task Bar down to a narrow toolbar.

• The Monthly Navigator in the Task Bar allows quicker and easier calendar navigation.
• The new busy time grid in the meeting creation window allows you to see free and busy time for each meeting guest individually, rather than only seeing a single composite busy time row for all guests.
• In addition to opening a proxy in a separate window, you can now show proxies side-by-side with your own schedule in your calendar. Use the Task Bar to show a proxy in your own calendar. Use the Proxy menu to show a proxy in a separate window.
  1. From the Task Bar, click Show Proxy in Calendar.
  2. Add desired proxy.
  3. Click OK.
• You can now export events into iCalendar format, and drag-and-drop iCalendar events onto your calendar.
• You can now create simple activities directly in your calendar, entering the title without ever opening the Activity window.
  1. Drag your activity time on the calendar.
  2. Enter title.
  3. Click off the activity.
• An Invite Guests link appears in any activity long enough to display the link (forty-five minutes or more). You can quickly turn an activity into a meeting by clicking this link to go directly to guest selection.
• Incoming meeting invitations now appear on your calendar as penciled in meetings. You can accept or decline them directly from your calendar. Penciled in meetings do not affect busy time until you accept them.
• You can now select a subset of favorite proxies to appear in your Proxy menu, including only those you access most often if desired.
  1. Choose Proxy-Edit Favorite Proxy List.
  2. Add your favorites.
  3. Click OK.
• You can now customize the display colors for Meeting Maker in your preferences.
  1. Choose Edit-Preferences. Click the Color tab.
  2. Click on color boxes to change.
  3. Select desired new color. Click OK.
  4. Click OK.
• You can now open multiple Main Windows at once. For instance, you can open a new Main Window to view your monthly calendar side by side with your daily calendar.
  1. Choose File-New Main Window.
  2. Resize windows as necessary.
• You can now use the right mouse button to access a variety of right-click functionality.
