Get started

Follow the install instructions to create a few users to get started.

For this guide I created 3 users:

-

Login

Using tomcat login to htttp://yourserver:8080/calendar/

-

Create an Address

In order for other users to see you, you have to register your contact information.

Name,Organization adn e-mail is required. Use the e-mail address that was created for tomCat in the mailserver.

-

Find Address in Address Book

After you added your address, it becomes visible under your Address Book.

This address can be shared with other users(shown later).

-

Logout

Logout and use the account jerryMouse to login again.

-

Create an other Address

It is not a must have but for our tutorial create a user address for the second user. Use the e-mail address that was created for jerryMouse in the mailserver.

-

Add another user into the Address Book.

After adding an address for jerryMouse, you can find the address in the Adddress Book. On the side menu there is a link to Add New Address. In order to schedule a meeting with user tomCat, jerryMouse has to add tomCat's address into the his Address Book.

-

Every invitee has the option to Accept or Decline an invite

The orginizer can also check on a meeting and see who accepted or declined.

The users also can receive e-mail notification based on their preferences.
