<![CDATA[<p>Can I send reminders of Calendar events by email to students or team members?</p><p><P>A quick way to manually send out a reminder about any eRoom item, including a calendar event, is to use the alert (paper airplane) button. This will allow you to select recipients and then write a brief message to them that will be sent by email. The starter "template" for the message includes a link to the eRoom item in question.</P>
<P>A true automated reminder is possible if you create calendar events that include the students or team members as "event participants." Whenever such events are one or two days away, a section entitled "Upcoming Events" will be added to the nightly eRoom Report notification email sent to those listed event participants. Here are steps for creating events in this way: </P>
<UL>
<LI>In the Calendar, click <STRONG>new event</STRONG>. Fill in a title for the event and its date.<BR><BR></LI></FONT>
<LI>Add a start time and duration if desired, and change the comments/votes and attachments checkboxes as desired (our recommendation: uncheck comments/votes, leave attachments checked).<BR><BR></FONT>
<LI>Pick the participants for the event. You can select course sections or other available groups such as "Students", or you can pick individuals by name.<BR><BR></LI>
<LI>Press <STRONG>OK</STRONG> to save the completed event.</LI></UL>
<P>If you see an "Upcoming Events" section in your nightly notification from a <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café</EM> room, it will recap today's and tomorrow's events in which you are listed as a participant across all calendars in the room.</P></p><h3>Alternate Questions/Keywords</h3><p></p><br><br><br><br><a target='_new' href='http://www.parature.com' style='font-family:Verdana;font-size:10px;color:999999;'>Help Desk and Customer Support Software by Parature</a>]]>
