PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: iAdvise News and Tips – Managing your iAdvise Calendar using an iPhone
The iAdvise Project Team has a tip for you:
Using your iPhone Calendar to Manage Appointments and Office Hours-
If you decline appointments from iAdvise using your iPhone calendar app, your iPhone calendar application will automatically send a cancelation to iAdvise. While this probably isn’t an issue for cancelations of appointments, this may cause a problem for folks who have the “change to my Office Hours/Group Sessions” checked in the Email Notifications section of their profile BECAUSE if one declines the Office Hours (to keep visibility on Outlook clean), it will cancel those Office Hours in iAdvise.
Keep in mind that in the desktop client of Outlook, Outlook asks if you want to reply to the sender hen an iAdvise calendar invitation is sent and, as you may know, we instruct users not to send a reply.
So the tip here is “don’t click decline on your phone” just to be sure.
