Database planning
This chapter describes the categories of information you need for configuring 
MeetingPlace:
to help you gather the 
information you need to populate the MeetingPlace database.
The MeetingPlace database includes four types of information, as described in 
the following table.
Company-specific information
Company-specific information includes general information about your 
company and parameters that tailor the way MeetingPlace operates. This 
information limits the total number of user licenses that can be involved in 
meetings at one time and determines meeting scheduling criteria. It also 
defines system-wide defaults for managing meetings.
The following table describes the information you need to: 
Decide what default scheduling and usage parameters MeetingPlace 
should use
Define port availability for meetings
