I have a Sharepoint list of meeting rooms (virtual and otherwise) and I'm looking for the simplest way to add functionality to this list so that users can click on a meeting room and book an appointment time in the calendar. Using Outlook Version 1908 & Sharepoint 2010.
| Location | Room name | Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Timbuktu | Room 1 | cool stuff |
In an ideal world I'd like to make the entire calendar for that room visible and allow users to add a meeting/appointment to that calendar.
I don't think sharepoint 2010 has the functionality for me to do this. Different room calendars have different coordinators and I doubt that they're going to give responsibility for them to an uppity no0b. I should note that I am also on restricted permissions currently though I hope to have these elevated soon. Regardless, I do have cooperation with the Administrator so permissions shouldn't really be an issue other than testing & implementation.
I am thinking the best way to do it is to hyperlink a meeting request to the room name eg. <a href="outlook:calendar/~room1">Room1</a> similar to the way a mailto:room1@outlook.com works. I found a sX answer page that suggests it might be possible but I'm yet to figure it out.
- Is there a way to link to a new meeting with a specified recipient (room mailbox)?
- Are there alternative ways which might work?
