Chapter 9 - Calendar

Calendar booking

Calendar booking enables you to send event re- quests or reservations to other communicator calendars using special SMS messages.

Note: The difference between an event request and an event reservation is that the recip- ient may decide whether to accept or discard an event request, but event reservations can only be accepted.

Booking password

Sending event reservations requires that you know the recipient’s booking password. If you know the recipient’s booking password, add it to the recipient’s contact card (in the Contacts ap- plication). The communicator checks the pass- word field of the recipient’s contact card before sending a reservation.

You can give your own booking password to those who may send reservations to your calen- dar. If you do not set a password, your commu- nicator accepts all reservations.

Define your booking password (by default you have no password) in the Calendar settings, see ”Calendar settings” on page 9-1.

The booking password is not needed when you send event requests.

The name or number of the recipient is added to the Event sent to list (see "Calendar booking: Canceling and changing bookings" on page 9-5).

Receiving requests

When you receive an event request, a note appears on the display showing the details of the event, and the name or number of the sender.

If you press Accept or Deny, your communicator sends a reply to the sender informing about your decision. Accepted events are moved to your calendar.

The request you have received can be dismissed by pressing Cancel and choosing Yes.

Receiving reservations

When you receive an event reservation, a note ap- pears on the display giving the details of the event. When you press OK, the reservation is moved to your calendar. If you press Confirm, the event is moved to the calendar and a confirma- tion note is sent to the sender of the reservation.

Old events are not removed when new events are added, even if they have the same date and time.
