Tell me more about ical

The new ical feature looks interesting and has promise, but I can't find documentation on it.   (http://codecollaborator.smartbear.com/docs/manual/10.0/index.html)

 

- I see I can send a meeting request in the participants field.   is this the only place to use it?   I'd love to see it as a custom field (i.e. - Review meeting, or Overview meeting scheduled).  

 

- I'm having a time problem.   I sent an ical meeting for 10a-11a.   But half the people got the invite for 9a-10a instead.  We're all at the same company & location, and should have the same outlook settings.  If it were an hour ahead, I would say someone has DST on.   Any thoughts, or anyone else see this?

 

Thanks gang.

    Hi,

     

    Please refer to the "Sending Calendar Notifications" Help topic. It looks like it works only in the Participants section indeed.

     

    As for iCal meetings for different time periods, I think that if you compare the calendar invitations' source, they should be identical. Rather, there should be some difference in operating systems. I think it has to be related to different time zones somehow. For example, Moscow time zone used to be in GMT+4, but then it changed to GMT+3. In Windows, this change was applied as a part of one of Microsoft updates. However, my old smartphone never received such an update.
