Field Reference: Meeting Scheduling Page

Users who sign in by using their Cisco Unified MeetingPlace profiles can schedule meetings, view lists of meetings, and access system features unavailable to guests.

Field	Description
Subject	A short description that distinguishes your meeting in Search results and meeting confirmation pages for users. If no subject is specified, the last name of the meeting scheduler is used to populate this field.
Meeting ID	A number that allows the system to uniquely identify a meeting that is occurring at any particular time. The system can automatically assign meeting IDs, or you can assign a custom ID. Note    We recommend that you always enter your own meeting ID. System-generated meeting IDs may conflict with restricted meeting ID patterns your system administrator has configured.
Date	The date of your meeting.
Time	The time you want your meeting to start. This is based on your time zone setting.

On behalf of user	The user ID of the person for whom you are scheduling a meeting. Note    This field is available only to users who have Attendant or System administrator privileges.
Password	An optional password that you are setting for your meeting. If you choose to protect a meeting with a password, all invitees must enter this password to access your meeting. If you do not require password protection, leave this field blank.
Billing code	If your company uses bill-backs, this field contains the number that is used to identify the group or department that should be billed for this meeting.
Meeting category	An optional parameter that allows you to set your meeting within a specified category of meetings (for example, all Sales meetings or Crisis meetings). Meeting categories are preconfigured by your system administrator.
Allow external web participants	Whether users outside your corporate firewall can access this meeting. Note    This field is only available if your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace deployment is set up with an external web server.
Number of participants	The maximum number of people who will attend your meeting.
Invite video terminals	An optional checkbox that allows you to invite video terminals to your meeting. Note    As the scheduler of a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace meeting, you will only see the Invite video terminals checkbox if your Video Usage profile is set to Can attend + host video meetings.
