Abstract: Traditionally, meetings are widely utilized in business and personal communications, whether in-person and/or virtual. Organizing such meetings typically involves multiple exchanges of content and messages between users before, during, and after the meeting. In some cases, meetings may occur impromptu and may result in inefficient and unproductive collaboration. A collaboration object configured to enable users to dynamically collaborate before, during, and after a meeting is provided. In aspects, the collaboration object links content generated before, during, and after the meeting in a single location and provides functionality for concurrent multi-user interaction and synchronization of the content across applications. The collaboration object may be available from a variety of application platforms, enabling and persisting real-time editing and collaboration before, during and after the meeting.

Abstract: Techniques of configuring settings for automatic update of calendar items in an electronic calendar systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a server can receive and store update configuration records indicating that a change to a start date, start time, an end date, an end time, or location of a meeting would render a meeting update actionable. Upon receiving an incoming meeting update, the server can determine whether the incoming meeting update contains a change to one of a start date, start time, an end date, an end time or location. If true, the server can automatically modify, without any input from the recipient, a scheduled meeting appointment in the calendar folder of the recipient according to the received incoming meeting update.

Abstract: The techniques described herein facilitate sharing electronic cloud-based calendars via online application and collaboration services, e.g., Microsoft Office 365®. In an implementation, a method of operating an online application and collaboration service for sharing electronic calendars between mailboxes is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request to share a master calendar owned by a first user of the online application and collaboration service with a second user. The master calendar is stored in the first user's mailbox. The method further includes communicating a response indicating acceptance of the request to share the master calendar, generating a copy of the master calendar in the second user's mailbox, and synching the copy of the master calendar with the master calendar using pre-cached data to populate an initial view.

Abstract: Techniques of selective update of calendar items in electronic calendar systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a computer server can be configured to receive an electronic update in the email folder of the user, the electronic update containing modification of one or more details to a meeting that the user is invited to attend. Upon receiving the electronic update, the computer server can determine whether the update is actionable by the user according to a set of pre-configured criteria. In response to determining that the electronic update is not actionable according to the set of pre-configured criteria, the computer server can automatically modify a calendar item corresponding to the meeting in the calendar folder of the user according to the received electronic update without input from the user.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods relating to an automatic meeting invite processor. When processing a meeting invite, the automatic meeting invite processor may enforce a calendar booking rule, which may be comprised by a predicate and an action. The predicate may specify characteristics relating to the meeting invite, such as a sender, scheduled date/time, scheduled location, etc. The predicate may also relate to context associated with a recipient of the meeting invite (e.g., the recipient's calendar or mailbox content). When a predicate is satisfied, the automatic meeting invite processor may perform one or more actions, wherein an action may relate to the meeting specified by the meeting invite or to the meeting invite object itself. Thus, when the predicate is satisfied, the meeting invite may be automatically processed by the automatic meeting invite processor using the action specified by the calendar booking rule.

Abstract: Task oriented organization of communications is provided. A communication application initiates operations to organize communications in response to received communications. The communications are analyzed to parse a shared task information. A communication is created from the communications automatically based on a shared task or manually based on a user input. The communication group integrates the shared task information. Next, the communication group is presented with the shared task information.
