Behavior: Attendees are not kept current with changes made to recurring meetings by meeting schedulers.
Resolution: Over time, recurring meeting updates and changes can be very difficult to manage. For reminders it is recommended that schedulers use appointments, not meetings, since there are no other attendees. With this in mind, Northwestern recommends that meeting schedulers follow the following length guidelines when creating recurring meetings to minimize conflicts for attendees:
| Meeting Recurs |
New Meeting Every |
Total Meetings |
| Daily |
2-4 weeks |
10-20 |
| Weekly |
2 months |
8 |
| Bi-Weekly |
3 months |
6 |
| Monthly |
6 months |
6 |
| Quarterly |
1 year |
4 |
| Annually |
3 years |
3 |
