The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Problems with Outlook Calendar

Asked by cstallings in Outlook Groupware Software

Here is what one of my customer's sent me. Is there a way to resolve this issue for her? Thanks.

We had two employees book our TM Small Conference room for today at 3pm.  
Greg  had a recurring meeting scheduled for Mondays at 3pm in the Small Conference Room.  He "invited" the TM Small Conference Room rather than reserving it as a resource.  This meeting appeared as scheduled on his calendar, but in reality it was not accepted on the TM Small Conference Room's calendar.  (Greg has subsequently removed that meeting to reschedule.)

Mary also booked a meeting (nonrecurring) for today (Monday) at 3pm in the Small Conference Room, but she listed the conference room as a Resource, and the calendar accepted even though Greg had already reserved the conference room.
So, Greg did some further testing.  He scheduled several meetings with the TM Small Conference room to test the "inviting" as a person, as a "resource", and as a "resource" for a recurring meeting.
Tested inviting the TM Small Conference room as a person on 11/11, 4pm.  The TM Small Calendar accepted and it shows on Greg's calendar, but it is not shown on the TM Small Conference calendar.

Testing inviting the TM Small Conference room as a resource on 11/11, 5pm.   The TM Small Calendar accepted, and it appears on both Greg's calendar and the TM Small Conference calendar.

Testing inviting the TM Small Conference room as a resource on 11/11, 6pm as a recurring meeting.  Outlook would not allow Greg to book the TM Small Conference room as a resource and a recurring meeting.  See the screen shot below at the very bottom of the email.  This is an issue.  No one has the time to book the conference room individually for a recurring meeting nor should they have to.
RESOLUTION:  
Please fix the permissions so that the TM Small Conference Room calendar accepts meetings whether "invited" or as a "resource."
Make sure the calendar declines as appropriate.
Fix the permissions so that the TM Small Conference Room calendar will accept recurring appointments when invited as a "resource".
Also, please double check the TM Board Room calendar to make sure these same problems do not exist for it as well.
