| Email Notification Features |
Auditing Calendar Activity
This allows the administrator of a calendar to be notified when events are added, update or deleted. This is very helpful for calendars that are wide open for people to add and modify events.
Notifying Others
You can email others of events you add or update on the calendar. This is commonly used to notify people that you have scheduled an event. The perfect example is the status meeting (that no one wants to attend).
Reminder Messages
Email reminders can be sent from 15 minutes to two weeks in advance of an event. Two separate times can be assigned for each event. To get people to attend the status meeting you can have them emailed the day before and 15 minutes prior to the meeting.

(Auditing Calendar Activity, is a system administration function. You can test this by downloading and running the demo calendar on your system).
