Suppressing Email Invitations

Supressing Email Invitations feature prevents outbound calendar sync from pushing employees and / or contacts on a Siebel Calendar entry to the user's Exchange Calendar, thereby preventing the employees or contacts from receiving an invitation to a meeting.

The feature is useful in situations where a Siebel user wants to create a meeting in Siebel that is associated to a Contact, but they don't actually want to invite that contact to the meeting. Meeting descriptions/bodies may contain sensitive information not intended for contacts associated with a Siebel calendar item.

To suppress the outbound sync of Calendar Contacts

Navigate to Administration – Server Management, and then Jobs.
On the first applet, create New record and set Component = PIMSI Dispatcher. Accept the default values for other fields.
On the last applet, create a new record and set the following:
- Name = Encoded Input Arguments
- Value = SuppressOutboundContactAttendees:TRUE

To suppress the outbound sync of Calendar Employees

Navigate to Administration – Server Management, and then Jobs.
On the first applet, create a new record and set Component = PIMSI Dispatcher. Accept the default values for other fields.

- Name = Encoded Input Arguments
- Value = SuppressOutboundEmployeeAttendees:TRUE

You can combine multiple arguments in Encoded Input Arguments using a semi-colon as a delimiter.

For example, if you use Dispatcher Groups, you can:

Navigate to Administration – Server Management, and then Jobs.
On the first applet, create a new record and set Component = PIMSI Dispatcher. Accept the default values for other fields.
On the last applet, create a new record and set the following:
- Name = Encoded Input Arguments
- Value = DispatcherGroup:MyGroup;SuppressOutboundEmployeeAttendees:TRUE;SuppressOutboundContactAttendees:TRUE

Any parameter that is missing will use the default (which is FALSE for both "Suppress" parameters).
