I¹m curious what suggestions people might have to optimize an instance of delegated calendar management that my company employs.
Our CEO uses Entourage 2008 on 10.4.11, connected to an Exchange 2003 SP2 server. His assistant uses Entourage 2008 on 10.5.4, also connected to the same Exchange 2003 SP2 server. The CEO¹s calendar is shared such that his assistant is also an Owner¹. In an effort to minimize the number of accept/decline/undecided notifications the CEO sees in his Inbox, his assistant uses the following somewhat cumbersome method to schedule events for him... > 1. Meeting proposer sends invitation to CEO¹s assistant and all other > invitees. This invitation contains all the necessary information about the > event location, notes, other invitees, etc. > 2. The assistant checks the CEO¹s calendar and accepts the event into her > calendar based on the CEO¹s availability. > 3. The assistant then manually duplicates the event into the CEO¹s calendar, > transposing location, notes, etc. via copy & paste. I¹m not very thrilled with this workflow, nor is the assistant. Her own calendar is completely muddled with all of the CEO¹s events. And she has to go through a fairly tedious copy & paste method to add the event to the CEO¹s calendar. I wonder if anyone can think of a better way to do this within the confines of the functionality Entourage 08 offers. I also wonder if the AppleScript Create Event from Message¹ might be modifiable to work like Create Event from Event Between 2 Calendars¹. I¹ll have to crack open the script and see. Thanks.
