DMA System Conference Templates for Multi-Tenancy
DMA system conference templates cannot be assigned to a specific area. Area
schedulers will be able to select from a list of all DMA system templates,
regardless of the area to which they manage. You should implement a
template naming convention to indicate to an area scheduler which DMA
templates apply to his purview; for example,
area1_template
.
Establish Naming Conventions for DMA System Templates
By default, all DMA system conference templates are made available to
conference schedulers who have permission to create pooled conferences and
anytime conferences. To differentiate which DMA system conference
templates should be used for which conferences, you should implement a
naming convention that informs the scheduler which conference template is
appropriate.
Anytime Conference Templates
For example, you could prefix a template designed for use with anytime
conferences with the word “anytime”; for example,
anytimeconf_standard
,
anytimeconf_autoterminate
,
anytimeconf_nochair
, and so on.
Considerations for Anytime Conference Templates
An anytime conference is initiated when the first person calls into the
conference and triggers the hosting bridge to dial-out to the remaining
conference participants.
Once an Anytime conference is configured, conferences can be started at any
time by authorized participants. The following events occur when a new
Anytime conference is added:
• A participant with scheduling permissions creates a new Anytime
conference and the conference is assigned a virtual meeting room (VMR)
number.
• An Chairperson passcode is automatically generated and may be
required to launch an Anytime conference (depending on your conference
template).The owner receives the owner passcode needed to launch the
conference via the meeting e-mail.
• Depending on the conference template settings, all dial-out participants
are automatically called either when first participant dials the VMR
number or the conference owner dials the VMR and enters the owner
passcode.
• If the conference template requires a chairperson, dial-in participants are
placed on hold until someone dials in and enters the chairperson
passcode.
