Note: To ensure that meeting data is not lost after it is purged 
from the system, you must save this data in a historical file and 
update this file on a monthly basis. When you update the 
historical file, data for the current month(s) is appended to the 
existing data. This enables you to analyze system usage over an 
extended period of time even after the meeting data for past 
months has been purged.  
 
Before you can save your data, you must first create the historical data file: 
1.
 
Run a monthly trending tool. 
2.
 
In the Capacity Management window, from the File menu, select Save, 
then specify a name and directory for this file. 
The first time you update the historical data file, you must enter the file 
name specified above. From then on, MeetingTime remembers the file name 
entered into the MeetingTime attributes. 
To update an historical data file: 
1.
 
From the MeetingTime Capacity Management tab, select the monthly 
trending tool to use. 
2.
 
Set the Update History File parameter to Yes, and enter the directory for 
this file in the Historical Data File parameter. 
3.
 
Click Execute. The Capacity Management Tool window appears. 
4.
 
From the File menu, select Save. 
Conferencing Minutes 
The Conferencing Minutes tool displays the amount of monthly 
conferencing minutes that took place on your system on an aggregate and 
per-port basis. To help you manage your system’s conferencing growth, this 
tool shows usage threshold lines that indicate when the use of your system 
has reached congested levels.  
The usage threshold lines also indicate when more capacity was added to 
your system, as seen in Figure 4-12.
