Advanced Scheduling Operations

This chapter describes how users with advanced scheduler permissions have more options when scheduling conferences using the Polycom® Converged Management Application™ (CMA™) system.

When scheduling conferences, users with advanced scheduler permissions can:

•Edit Conference Settings

•Select a Bridge for a Conference

•Create a Cascaded Conference Across Multiple Bridges

Edit Conference Settings

If you have Scheduler Permissions and an Advanced Scheduling level, you can overwrite certain conference template settings as described here. However, be careful when doing so. If you have an environment with mixed MCU types (e.g., with both Polycom MGC and RMX systems), and the conference you schedule is hosted on a Polycom RMX system, some of the settings you specify here may be overridden by the RMX profile.

•A profile is a collection of advanced conference settings that reside on the MCU (Polycom MGC or RMX system). Only an RMX profile can override conference template settings. For more information about conference templates, profiles, and your conferencing configuration, contact your Polycom CMA system administrator.

•Two conferences scheduled with the same template may have different settings and behavior if they land on different types of MCUs.

You can edit conference settings only for scheduled conferences. You cannot edit conference settings for active conferences.
