CCI Tech Tip Tuesdays

One tool you can use to stay organized is to use Slack's Remind feature.  This lets you remind yourself or your team of a task, a meeting or really anything. When in slack, just type "/remind" into a a group message or channel and add the details of the reminder.  More info  here .   Interested in joining CCI's  Slack  workspace?  Open a  tech ticket  to get started!  

When sending an Outlook calendar invite out, you can select who is required to attend vs. who is optional to attend.   When you open a new meeting invite, first add attendees in the "To" field.  Then click on "Scheduling Assistant" in the top navigation bar. When in Scheduling Assistant, to the left of each person's name, you'll see a small icon.  This shows that the attendee is currently listed as "Required" for this meeting. When you click on this icon a drop down menu will appear.  Here you can change the status for this person to "Optional". You'll see the icon by the attendees name has now been changed. For any invite you can have a mixture of Required and Optional attendees, just change the icon for each person to the appropriate status.
