The Upcoming Meetings Page
Use the Upcoming page in the Meetings tool to start, join, or schedule a team meeting. To schedule a meeting for your team:
- Click Meetings from the left navigation.
- Select the intended team from the Team dropdown.
- Click Schedule a Meeting.
- Choose an agenda from the Select Agenda dropdown.
- Click the calendar icon to select a meeting date.
- Enter the start time for the meeting based on your time zone in Ninety.
- (Optional) Choose when to repeat the meeting from the Repeating Meeting Cadence dropdown.
- (Optional) Choose a facilitator and scribe from the respective dropdowns.
- Click Save.
- (Optional) Add the meeting to your work calendar.
The Upcoming Meetings page shows your previously scheduled meetings. We'll display all meetings scheduled during the next 30 days, including repeat meetings. Each scheduled meeting will remain on this page until it is started or after 48 hours.
Calendar Integration
After clicking Save when scheduling any type of meeting, a popup window with your meeting's details will appear.
Click one of the following options at the bottom of this window to open a draft invitation for this meeting in your work calendar.
- Google Calendar
- Office 365
- Teams
- .ics
The draft invitation will automatically include:
- Every member of the team in Ninety as invited guests.
- The name of the meeting and the team name in the invitation title.
- The date and time selected in Ninety.
To add a previously scheduled meeting to your calendar, the user who scheduled the meeting can:
- Right-click the upcoming meeting's row or click the ellipsis on the far right of the row.
- Select Add to calendar from the dropdown.
- Click your preferred calendar to open a draft invitation.
- Complete sending the invitation through your calendar service.
At this time, the calendar invitation is not synced with the Meetings tool Ninety. So, if you make changes to the calendar invitation or to the upcoming meeting, you'll need to make the same changes to the other.
Starting a Meeting
To start a scheduled meeting, click Start.
The Start button on scheduled meetings becomes active the day the meeting is scheduled to occur and remains active for 48 hours. If the meeting isn't started during that time, we'll remove it from your upcoming list.
For example, if your team has a Weekly Team Meeting scheduled every Monday at 10:00 but did not meet at all on Monday or Tuesday, then, by Wednesday, we'll switch to displaying the following Monday's scheduled meeting.
To start a previously unscheduled meeting:
- Click Start a Meeting.
- Select an agenda from the popup to launch the meeting.
Editing a Scheduled Meeting
To edit the details of a scheduled meeting:
- Click the ellipsis on the far right of the meeting's card.
- Click Edit Schedule.
- Click Save after editing any desired information.
Setting Your Time Zone
Ensure everyone on your team sees the correct meeting time by verifying your time zone in your settings.
Hint: Click Set time zone automatically to match your computer's settings.
Deleting a Scheduled Meeting
To delete a scheduled meeting:
- Click the ellipsis on the far right of the meeting's card.
- Click Delete.
- If this meeting is set to repeat, a popup will prompt you to delete just this meeting or every repeating meeting this meeting created.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I have to set up anything under Integrations to be able to add scheduled meetings to my calendar?
No, this integration is automatically available and doesn’t need to be configured. Once a user schedules a meeting, they will be given the option to add the meeting to their calendar.
Can I add a scheduled meeting to my calendar once I’ve exited the popup modal window?
Yes, the person who scheduled the meeting is able to add the scheduled meeting to their calendar at any time by right-clicking on the meeting or clicking the ellipsis.
Can anyone on the team add the scheduled meeting to their calendar?
No, only the meeting organizer can add the meeting to their calendar. This design prevents potential calendar conflicts and duplicate meeting entries.
Are there plans to support other calendar types vs just Google and Microsoft?
No, we don’t have plans to support additional calendar types, but we will continue to listen to our customer’s feedback to identify new ones to support. For now, you can use the .ics option after scheduling a meeting to download an ics file. Then, import that file to your calendar application of choice.
Does Ninety automatically sync meeting updates to my calendar?
No, meetings are added to your calendar, but updates must be made manually in both Ninety and your calendar.
