Collecting detailed information from user calendars

You can make detail information from users' calendars available to other users. When you set up this feature, you specify which calendar details are made available for viewing by other users.

About this task

The detail information that displays in the dialog box is less detailed than the information that is made available when a user chooses to allow others to view their calendar entries. The detail information is stored in the Freetime database, BUSYTIME.NSF for nonclustered servers, or CLUBUSY.NSF for clustered servers. To limit growth of this database, do not enable the server to collect this data. You can enable or disable this feature across the entire HCL Domino® domain from the server's Configuration Settings document.
