Scheduling Events and Meetings

Event and meeting scheduling pages accept names for only registered OfficeVision/VM users. In OfficeVision/VM, the term "users" includes conference rooms and equipment as well as people.

You can specify an OfficeVision/VM userid or nickname for a single user, and you can specify the name of a distribution list of OfficeVision/VM userids or nicknames. Valid distribution list names are defined in your OfficeVision/VM configuration. On the meeting scheduling pages, you can specify any of these names in the relevant fields. On the event scheduling pages, the names each field accepts varies; the online help indicates which names you can enter in each field. If a distribution list contains the OfficeVision/VM dot commands .ad or .cc, VM:Webserver for OfficeVision processes those commands so that the indicated users are included as members of the list.

If a user is on a remote system, the system administrator must identify that system to the local system.

Sending Mail

Mail pages accept several different types of names. The table indicates to whom you can send mail and how to specify their names.

Addressees	Specify
Users, equipment, and conference rooms registered in OfficeVision/VM	OfficeVision/VM userids or nicknames in the To or cc field, or on dot commands in the Text or Purpose field.
VM users on the local system who are not registered in OfficeVision/VM	VM userid in the To or cc field or on dot commands in the Text field
VM users on a remote system who are not registered in OfficeVision/VM	node(userid) or an OfficeVision/VM nickname for node(userid) in the To or cc field or on dot commands in the Text field
All users in an OfficeVision/VM distribution list	Name of the distribution list in the To or cc field
Internet users	One of the following: Internet style address in the To or cc field using the format userid@host (for example, Jane_Johnson@Sterling.com). TCP/IP host name and TCP/IP userid name on a .ddn command in the Text or Purpose field. If your Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service virtual machine is something other than SMTP, you must also specify that name somewhere in the To field. Internet style address (userid@host) on a .ad or .cc dot command in the Text or Purpose field.

Working with Distribution Lists

Distribution lists accept several different types of names. The table indicates the types of names and how to specify them in the Name field. The order in which the names are listed in the table reflects the order in which OfficeVision/VM assesses the names; that is, OfficeVision/VM looks for each name first as a distribution list filename, then as a nickname, and so on until it locates the name.

Names	Specify
Distribution lists	Filename of the distribution list; filetype OFSMLIST and filemode * are assumed
Nicknames	nickname, as specified in an active nickname file
Userid on the local VM system, or name registered in the local OfficeVision/VM system	userid
Userid on a remote system, or name registered on a remote OfficeVision/VM system	node(userid)
