Creating User Groups 
After you have chosen your profile maintenance strategy, you should 
determine how to segment your user population into user groups. Groups 
provide a convenient means of specifying many like users. In MeetingPlace, 
user groups are organized according to a shared set of attributes. 
You should decide how to segment your users into groups by taking into 
account the following information: 
 
Billing information 
 
Class-of-service privileges 
 
Organizational boundaries 
 
Departmental support contacts 
Each MeetingPlace profile contains over 50 attributes that control the user’s 
class-of-service privileges and their meeting preferences. By segmenting 
your users into groups, you can easily maintain profiles for like sets of users. 
When something about that group changes, such as the departmental contact, 
you can update the entire group at once. 
Groups also determine the sort order of records in MeetingPlace standard 
reports. Information from users in the same group appears together. 
To define a user group: 
1.
 
Log on to MeetingPlace using MeetingTime. 
2.
 
From the MeetingTime reception room, click the Register book. The 
Register window opens with the Configure tab displayed. 
3.
 
On the left side of the Configure tab, choose User Groups.
