1) Overview of Meeting Check-In


 


Meeting Check-In...

  1.  Audits user and Quicklaunch usage
  2.  Frees up rooms when no one is present or has checked-in
  3.  Prompts users to join meetings which are not yet checked-in
  4.  Removes meetings upon meeting ends


2) Settings of Meeting Check-In


 


1) Enabled/Disabled: Turn on/off Meeting Check In.

  •  Note:  If meeting check in is turned off, check in audit logs are not created for meetings.


2) Check-In Timeout:  Set the number of minutes before QL prompts to join the meeting.

  • Note:  Maximum is 120 minutes.  If this setting is longer than any particular meeting duration, that meeting will never show the dialog if someone has not checked in.  When that occurs, there is no audit record created (i.e meeting was not checked in, nor expired) *** This might change to expired, tbd


3) Remove Calendar Item:  Will remove calendar items.

  • Note: When enabled, QL will delete the calendar item from the room calendar if the meeting expires, thus freeing up the room calendar.  When disabled, the audit record is still marked as “expired”, but the room is still booked / calendar item still exists.  You cannot check in to this meeting if it is expired (though you certainly can still have the meeting)  *** This might change so you can always check in to a meeting even if expired, and possibly always remove the item if expired, tbd
