Meeting Calendar 2018

Meeting Calendar view

The Meeting Calendar service allows you to view the meetings of your chosen ETSI Body and/or its Sub-Groups, according to the selection you have previously made (see Body Selector).

Furthermore, this service allows you to register / de-register for some of the meetings, contribute to a given meeting and search for a subset of meetings.

In the list of meetings, the cell options are displayed and enabled only when you are authorised to execute the corresponding action.

Therefore, you must first login if you want to proceed with some of the actions.

The page is divided into 3 main parts:

• The top part displays the list of meetings you have already registered to
• The middle part displays the list of your selected meetings
• The bottom part displays the full list of searched meetings  

In the full list of searched meetings, frequently-used search, filter and sort options are available by default.  

All meetings found are ordered by date. You can then sort the list by Date, Location or Working Groups.

Reset filter button resets all filtering criteria to their default value. This is convenient when you have changed several criteria in a row.

When you move the cursor over a cell of a given row, you can read some explanation about the cell content. 

When you click on a cell, it either executes the corresponding action or opens the Detailed Meeting Information window.  

Note that some columns are hidden when the screen size gets smaller, and corresponding actions (if any) are moved under the ellipsis menu icon on the left.

The following information is displayed for each meeting in the list, either with a textual or iconic field:

• +/- icon used to add a meeting in your selection or to remove it. This is useful when you want to select a bulk of meetings and perform a bulk registration.

Search for a meeting from ETSI portal home page

On the ETSI portal home page, the Meeting Calendar show all meetings of all Bodies and their Sub-Groups scheduled over a given period. Meetings are sorted in ascending chronological order.

You perform first a search using the “Search” fields, then you can refine or order the obtained list using the “Filter by” and “Sort by” fields

Searching within a date range

By default, meetings are displayed for a period of one month.  It shows on-going meetings within the next month.

You can also choose a “6 months” or “1 year” period.  

With the “More options” button, you can change this period to a precise date range, using From and To fields.

Searching with a meeting reference or identifier or location

When the “More options” pane is expanded, you can search for a meeting using its Meeting Reference or its Meeting Identifier or its Location

These Meeting Reference, Meeting Identifier and Meeting Location correspond to the values that you can find in the Meeting Information window.

An exact match is needed, so the search will be conclusive if the search string can be found in one of these 3 fields.

Note that this search ignores the search by date criteria and will find both past and future meetings matching the searched field.  

Searching for meetings ended within the last month

You can search for meetings that have ended within the last month by clicking the “Ended” choice.

Filtering by the group

You can filter found meetings using the working group they are attached to.
