repeated even if additional resources are added at a later time.
Updating the Mail Template for Notes Users
Video booking functionality can be offered to Lotus Notes users in several ways.
Use of an existing mail template without modification.
Adding the additional video conference functionality to the existing mail template
Pushing the provided TANDBERG-modified standard mail template (tmsmailX.ntf

) to users
The first method allows users to book rooms, but they will not have any of the additional functionality,
for example being able to set conference parameters or specific additional sites such as external dial-
in or dial-out sites.
The second method may be required if the organization is already using a customized mail template.
See Appendix B for information about how to add the TANDBERG functionality to your existing
template.
