SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WORKFLOW TO ALLOW MEETING INVITEES TO SUBSCRIBE AS DEPENDENTS OF OTHER INVITEES

摘要

The present invention provides a system and method for managing a meeting notice. The system includes a dependency set module that enables a participant to define at least one dependent participant and optionally specify an automatic response to the meeting invitation based on the targeted participant's response, and a determination module that determines if the person scheduling a meeting will allow a participant to subscribe as a dependent of” at least one other participant of the meeting. The determination module, to prevent mutual dependence between two participants, will not allow the participant to subscribe as a dependent if the targeted participant is indicated as a dependent of the requesting participant. The system includes a delivery module that delivers a dependency notice to the participant and, to the at least one targeted participant if the person scheduling a meeting has chosen to allow dependencies by default, and delivers a FYI notice to the person scheduling the meeting if dependencies are allowed by default and delivers a response to the meeting invite if the dependent participant has specified an automatic response based on the targeted participant's response.
