DTI : change meeting from Outlook to Windchill ProjectLink 10.1

[fruo]

Our Idea is improve the DTI in MS Outlook. Today we have the possibility to create a new meeting in Outlook and with DTI create the same meeting in ProjectLink, but if the user change the meeting in Outlook (for ex. modify the time), is not possible update by DTI the meeting information in ProjectLink.

Yes, it would be great if there were a bi-directional integration between Outlook and Windchill DTI to sync and maintain meetings between Outlook and Windchill.

I agree with this enhancement. Enabling seamless integration of the meeting function will help us with adoption of this function. Creation of meetings in ProjectLink is cumbersome and time consuming.

• Recurrence. Specify the meeting as a recurring meeting. Include all current Outlook functions for this
• Propose New Time. Leverage the propose new time options to assist in the realignment of optimal meeting times.
• Tentative Acceptance. Capture the participant has tentatively accepted. Display the status during the In Progress Process.
• Decline acceptance. Capture the participant has declined the meeting request. Display the status during the In Progress Process.
• Optional Participation. Capture the participant was set as optional for the meeting. Display the status during the In Progress Process.
• Assign Role of members for actioning
• Expanded Time selection. Mimic Outlook time selection process
• Better Duration selection. Mimic Outlook time selection process
• Selection of Participants should be easier. Mimic Outlook attendee selection process, suggestions give during the typing of the users name.
• Follow on. is the addition of Web meeting tools like WebEx or GoToMeeting. I can remember awhile ago there was a WebEx option in the meeting type creation. Pasting a URL is not good enough, connection to the service is more desirable.
