Is there a way to track the person who creates an
appointment in a public folder? There are no invitees so
mo messages go out. We are getting blank appointments
every so often that someone must be initating but there is
no data/info behind it. Is there a way we can we find out
who is doing this or if this is an automated process that
keeps happening.
 
You will have to set up a custom view to see who
the "Organizer" is.

Open the Calendar
Select the VIEW menu
Select CURRENT VIEW
Select DEFINE VIEWS
Highlight the BY CATEGORY VIEW and
click the COPY... button
Name the view something like (View Organizer)
Select THIS FOLDER VISIBLE TO EVERYONE
so that others will be able to use this view also.
Click OK
Click FIELDS...

Near the bottom of the "Show Fields" window is
a box titled "Select available fields from:", Click the
arrow next to it and select "ALL APPOINTMENT
FIELDS".

Now in the Available fields box select ORGANIZER
and click the ADD button.
Move the field to the top of the list to have it be the first
field shown in your view.
Click OK
Click OK again
Click the APPLY VIEW button

Now you will see the name of the person who was the
originator (or Organizer) of the appointment.

Use the VIEW menu to change the view on this folder
as you need it.
