'''Disclaimer'''

* As the application evolves, please note that the content/videos/screenshots presented on this help page might differ from the current version of the application. We are doing our best to keep this page up to date.
* All details displayed on the screenshots/videos are from a testing environment, so please consider them as dummy data.
* The menu and options shown could differ depending on user rights.

== '''Access rights''' ==

Meeting management application is accessible using an EOL account.

There are 3 different profiles:

'''Meeting administrators''' => ETSI Staff, access is not limited depending on Bodies (with few exceptions);
* '''Super-users'''
** Body Officials (Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Acting Chair, Convenor). In case of Joint meeting, only the Body Officials of the "master"/parent Bodies (i.e., the Body to which the meeting was primarily attached at Meeting creation) are part of the Meeting Super-users group.
** Rapporteurs (active work items' rapporteurs are allowed to create and manage specific type of meetings for their specific groups)
* '''Room Administrators''' => ETSI Staff members who are part of the Events (EVE) meeting support team + ITC team.
[[File:MMPv2_Access_Rights.png|center|frame|Fig 1 - Access rights table]]

== '''Meeting category - type matrix''' ==

Depending on Meeting category and Body (if it is the case) the user has the possibility to decide what type of meeting to create.
[[File:MMPv2 Meeting category - type matrix.png|center|thumb|655x655px|Fig 2 - Meeting category - Meeting type matrix]]

== '''Meeting statuses''' ==

[[File:MMPv2 Meeting Statuses .png|center|thumb|655x655px|Fig 3 - Meeting statuses diagram]]

'''UNSAVED''' = this value is displayed in the meeting creation screen, when the user is starting the creation process, but it has not yet saved any information (it has not yet pressed the “save as draft” button). The value indicates to the user that no information is saved yet in the data base, therefore once the user is quitting the page/closing the browser, the information will be lost. The meeting is not yet displayed in the meeting calendar.

'''DRAFT''' = this meeting status is indicating that the “save as draft” button has been saved at least once during the creation process. To be sure that the most recent information added has been saved, the user should press the “save as draft” button. The meeting is not yet displayed in the meeting calendar.

'''PRECONFIRMED''' = the user has finished the creation and has pressed the “Publish” button, but the meeting cannot be published until the EVE team is approving the room request. The meeting is not yet displayed in the meeting calendar.

'''CONFIRMED''' = the user has finished the creation and has pressed the “Publish” button. All conditions are met for the system to automatically confirm the meeting creation (and room allocation if it is the case). The meeting is displayed in the meeting calendar (unless it has been marked as hidden).

'''FINALIZED''' = the end date/time of the meeting is in the past. The meeting is displayed in the meeting calendar (unless it has been marked as hidden).

'''CANCELLED''' = the meeting has been cancelled after being Confirmed.

== '''Room statuses''' ==
[[File:MMPv2 Room Statuses 1.png|center|thumb|655x655px|Fig 4 - Room statuses diagram]]

'''AVAILABLE =''' a room for which there are no reservations or requests between a specific start/end date/time.

'''PREBOOKED =''' when the user is choosing an available and recommended room and saves the meeting as draft.

'''BOOKED =''' when the user is publishing a meeting for which it selected an available and recommended room.

'''PENDING =''' when the user is choosing an available, but not recommended room, and it press the Publish button. The meeting will not be published until the EVE team will review the room request. If the EVE team approve the room request, the status of the room becomes Booked. In case EVE team denies the room request, the room status becomes Available.
[[File:MMPv2 Room Statuses 2.png|center|frame|Fig 5 - Meeting support Room request process]]

== '''Room recommendations matrix''' ==
When the meeting is organized on ETSI Premises, the system is recommending a list of meeting rooms, depending on availability and room capacity. Below is the matrix that indicates which meeting room could be displayed as "Available & Recommended" depending on its capacity (marked in this table with "x" and light blue background) and which meeting rooms will be displayed as "Available" (marked in this table with dark blue background).[[File:MMPv2 Room recommendations matrix 1.png|center|thumb|655x655px|Fig 6 - Room recommendations matrix]]For more details, please see the legend below:[[File:MMPv2 Room recommendations matrix 2.png|center|frame|Fig 7 - legend for Room recommendations matrix]]
