Meeting Maker: Web Access
To access Meeting Maker from any computer with a web browser, go to http://meetingmaker.simmons.edu/. Your username and password are the same as for your Simmons email account.
The web client operates much the same as the desktop client. Listed here are a few differences:
- Use the command links in the left hand part of the screen (rather than choosing commands from menus, right clicking, or dragging across time slots in your calendar)
- Your proposals window appears at the bottom of the web browser window, below your calendar
- Use Show Proxy to generate a separate web browser window showing another calendar. Close the window to close her/his calendar.
- Under Edit Preferences you will find
- General: change the time format, reminder defaults, daily view preferences, and how often Meeting Maker will check for proposals.
- User Info: add your title, department, email address, and schedule information (others using Meeting Maker are able to see all of this information)
- Filters: categories you may use in the address book and to do list.
- Labels: labels you can apply to activities, meetings, and banners on your calendar.
- Share Calendar: same function as Proxy menu/Share Calendar
- On each preference page, click Save to apply your changes, or Cancel to cancel any changes you made
- When you are done be sure to choose Log Out at the top right of the screen
Please see the Meeting Maker help pages (Find Help at the bottom left of the Meeting Maker web client), and the Simmons tip sheets about the Meeting Maker desktop client for additional information.
