Notify Attendees Select this check box if you want to notify attendees when you schedule or modify an activity. When you select this check box and click OK, the following things happen:
  • The Invite Attendees dialog box displays. Use this dialog box to send an email notification to the activity attendees.
  • All attendees are listed in the To field of the email message.
  • The subject of the activity displays in the Subject field of the email message.
  • The activity date and time, and the associated client, contact, opportunity, and project names (if applicable) display in the body of the email message. You can enter additional information before you send the email.

When you schedule an activity, Vision remembers the Notify Contact setting that you selected and applies it for the next activity that you schedule. You can modify the setting for each activity that you schedule.
