System generated messages are sent using email and may be formatted as HTML or as PDF documents attached to the message, depending on system email settings. (Due to limitations in Outlook’s HTML rendering in Office 2007, PDF attachments may be preferable.) When messages are generated, the system uses a pre-formatted Crystal Report file as the template. The new message content is added to the report and is sent as either HTML or a PDF file.
Messaging is supported for the following actions as part of the scheduling workflow. Multiple actions may be supported by the same message type and report file.

The message contains the event and meeting information including room and resource assignments and statuses.

When sending this message, the user has an opportunity to interact with the recipient list and may add or remove recipients as well as add a comment to the message.
