Tip #303 - Use Appointment Templates To Set Up Email Groups

When scheduling appointments on the calendar in SmartAdvocate, it is often necessary to include several individuals as your attendees. Frequently, they are the same individuals each time. Manually selecting the same attendees can be time consuming and inefficient, as it involves several dropdowns, etc.

To make things easier, you can set up Email Groups using “Appointment Templates.”
