OTS Training Tip of the Week

Reply to Outlook Meeting Invites

When creating a meeting in Outlook, if the invitee accepts the meeting, but clicks “do not send a response,” the tracking information for the Meeting Organizer does not update to accepted.  Their response is tracked as “none”. To make sure you are counted as attending the meeting:

1. Click Accept in the ribbon of the meeting invite.
2. Click either Edit the Response before Sending or Send the Response Now.

People who organize a lot of meetings can use the following setting to automatically delete responses that don’t contain comments:

1. Click File in the ribbon.
2. Click Options.
3. Click Mail option, then scroll to the Tracking settings.
4. Place a check mark in the box beside Update tracking information, and then delete response that don’t contain comments.
5. Click the Save button.
