To Accept or Decline an Invitation to a Meeting

From the In-tray, you can drag entries from the New Entries into the Entries you've accepted or Entries you've refused folders. Or instead of dragging entries, you can right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) an entry and select one of the Reply options (Keep in Agenda, Remove from Agenda, or Decide Later).

From any view in your agenda, double-click an entry to bring up the Edit Meeting window. Click the Reply tab. You can change your selection by selecting one of the Reply options (I Will Attend; I Will not Attend; or I Will Confirm Later, or click in the I would prefer another time checkbox).

Tip

  • A user can choose whether to display declined entries in their agenda; the default is to have them displayed. If you do not want these meetings to appear on your agenda, select Options from the Tools menu (Windows) or go to the Preferences command in the Oracle Calendar menu (Macintosh), then click Agenda. In the Display and Print section, uncheck the Refused Meetings option.
