Creating a Rule for a Resource

As the owner of a resource, you have full Proxy rights to that resource, including the ability to create rules for it. The following steps show you how to create a rule that accepts all requests for an available resource. This is an example of one rule that is useful for a resource. You can create other rules that perform different actions. For example, you might create a rule that declines requests for a resource that is already scheduled.

  1. Click the Mode Selector, then click Proxy.

  2. Click the resource you own.

    If the resource you own isn’t listed in the Proxy dialog box, type the name of the resource you own in the Name field, then click OK.

  3. Click Tools > Rules, then click New.

  4. Type a name for the rule.

  5. Click Appointment. Make sure the other item types are deselected.

  6. Click the Appointment conflict exists drop-down list, then click No.

  7. Click Add Action, click Accept, type a comment if desired, then click OK.

    Step 6 and Step 7 instruct the rule to accept the appointment for the resource only if the resource is available.

  8. Click Save, then click Close.
