Re: Sending Event Alerts by AD Group

That was what I had figured, because at no time during event creation are you
prompted to specify a group, no is there any visible link to do so, unless
you go through the process of creating a Meeting Workspace, which is too much
extra work. But there's so much that can be done under the hood with
SharePoint, that I wanted to see what others had to say.

I used to think that alerts were only at list level but then it was shown
that they can be at item level but I suspect there were restrictions on the
types of lists that that would apply to (I have a feeling that post said so)
and events might well be one it doesn't apply to.

However I think we can safely say that per list, yes: per item; yes (maybe
certain lists) but per events only for a particular team, no (unless you
specify each entry for a particular team and then specify that alert for the
group [i.e. you are still doing it on the item not for the group's set of
items])

Anyway even understand the above para :)

Sorry, doing six things at once and kept getting distracted. I have a
calendar with events that correspond to groups in my site. Is there a way
to
have users only receive alerts for events that are for their team, and not
for every event on the calendar? I don't see any way on the new event
screen,
unless I create a Meeting Workspace for each one, which I don't want to
do.

I have a calendar in my WSS site. Nothing fancy or home grown, just the
stock
calendar and event tracking that comes with WSS. The calendar is going
to
be
used by a department to post events, reminders, etc. The department is
further split into teams, and every person will have alerts configured
for
the calendar, but if possible I would like them to only get alerts for
events
for their specific team, and not all of the other teams as well. The
teams
have corresponding goups in Active Directory, and I created groups in
WSS
that correspond to the AD groups. It appears that if they create a
Meeting
Workspace for every event, then specific groups can be added, and maybe
alerts will go out only to those groups. I haven't tested this yet.
Plus,
creating Meeting Workspaces for every event is a waste, because most
events
won't need a workspace. It would be nice if I could just create a basic
event
and assign it to certain groups.
