Billing Users for Conference Calling 
Internal billback is a requirement of many organizations. MeetingPlace is 
designed to be able to report meeting scheduling and attendance, outdialing, 
disk usage, and attachment information activities by user. You can define 
billing codes in a user’s profile or in the group settings.  
Providing User Support 
There are two specific times when a user can dial out for assistance from the 
telephone: before a meeting is identified to the system by the user and after a 
meeting has been identified. MeetingPlace is designed to identify a specific 
user and telephone number to handle each of these situations. Additionally, a 
contact person can be identified to support a specific group of people. 
Defining Flex Fields 
The MeetingPlace database is designed to allow customers to add fields that 
customize meetings to their own business needs. There are seven flex fields 
for each profile and each meeting. Examples of profile flex fields include 
Cost Center, Billing Exemption, and Hire Date. Meeting-specific examples 
include Conference Room, Building Number, and Instructor Name.
