Adjust appointment details

Afterwards the appointment will open in your standard calendar, where you can adjust the details before saving or sending it. A few things will be automatically done for you, e.g.:

  • the title of the appointment, which matches the title of the factro element
  • the link to the factro element, which will be placed in description field
  • the persons, who have access rights and are suggested to you as guests for the appointment

After checking and adding all the information (e.g. adjusting the time and place of the event in your calendar), you can save the appointment and send it to other participants.
