This setting works in conjunction with Extend Conference Mode and applies to Automatic Best Effort or

n
Best Effort: Conferences will only automatically extend beyond the scheduled end time on a best effort
basis if all resources are available for the next 15 minutes.
basis if all resources are available for the next 15 minutes.
n
Ignore: Cisco TMS will ignore the resource availability check, and conferences will automatically extend
beyond the scheduled end time regardless of whether all the resources are available or not. The only
exception to this is if the port used on the main participant clashes with another conference that takes place
during that extended time - in that case the conference will not be extended.

exception to this is if the port used on the main participant clashes with another conference that takes place

be used with Conference Type: No Connect or One Button To Push.
This feature must be used with caution, as once enabled, participants may be unable to join new conferences
if resources are still in use by the previous conference. However, conferences will always be allocated: if
extending the conference would block a new conference from being able to start (for example, by using the
same URI on the bridge), the extension will not take place.
