27.3 Propose New Time for an Appointment

If you, as the recipient of an appointment, want to change the time of the appointment, you can perform a busy search of attendees and propose a new time. The new time is then sent back to the original sender, who can then decide whether to accept the new time. If the change is accepted, the original appointment is edited.

The recipient must be on a GroupWise 18 client to propose a new time. The originator must be on a GroupWise 18 client to accept the new time and send the edited appointment. If the originator is on a client earlier than GroupWise 18, the counter proposal is shown as an email with the original appointment attached. The originator must then manually edit the original appointment if the originator wants to use the new time.
