About Customizing the Scheduling Forms

You can easily make some changes to the scheduling forms using the methods in "Customizing the Scheduling and Notification Forms". Changes you make using procedures described in that chapter will be preserved if you upgrade in the future.


Note Changes you make using procedures in this chapter will be overwritten if you upgrade to a new version of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook.


The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook scheduling form (MPOLSchedule.htm) allows you to customize the information that is displayed in the Meeting Settings and Advanced Settings pages of the scheduling form in the MeetingPlace tab. The Advanced Settings page appears as a table in the MPOLSchedule.htm form.

The MPOLSchedule.htm template form contains scheduling fields in the form of HTML tags, with all except the most popular commented out. It does not contain all scheduling fields available to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook because even commented fields must be downloaded to the MeetingPlace tab each time users click this tab. The MPOLSchedule.htm form therefore strikes a balance between extensive customizability and usability.


Note Customizing the MPOLSchedule.htm form using methods in this chapter requires proficiency with HTML and Java Script. You must be familiar with these before you attempt to customize the MPOLSchedule.htm form.


Special Requirements

When you customize the MPOLSchedule.htm form:

Make sure that you set the onChange event for each field and tie it to the onMtgChanged JavaScript function.

Note that the fields are in table rows. Comment out the entire table row <tr>.

We recommend that you add most of your fields in the Advanced Settings tab. This is another table on the same HTML page.

Customizing the MPOLSchedule.htm Form


Step 1 Go to <drive>:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\mpweb\template and make a backup copy of MPOLSchedule.htm.

Step 2 Open MPOLSchedule.htm. in a text editor.

Step 3 Comment out or uncomment information, or add tags. See the table in the following section for a list of tags. Follow the Special Requirements in the previous section.

Step 4 Save the file.

Step 5 If changes do not appear after you modify this file, try restarting the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing service. In Windows, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services. Right-click the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing service and choose Restart.
