Remarks

The order in which mailboxes are added to the request represents the order in which mailbox information is received in the response.

Examples

The following code example shows you a GetUserAvailability query that includes the following elements:

  1. A time window for free/busy data that includes today and tomorrow.

  2. A request for detailed and merged free/busy information about the calendar events for each mailbox. This example shows a request for detailed information. However, the actual information that is returned can vary based on the caller's rights to view the calendar information for other mailboxes.

  3. A defined interval for which the merged free/busy data is to be returned; in this case, 30 minutes. This is ignored if merged free/busy data is not requested.

  4. A threshold definition that states that any suggested meeting time where 75% of the attendees are free is considered a Good meeting time.

  5. A window of suggested meeting times that includes today and tomorrow.

  6. A defined maximum number of nonworking hours as suggested meeting times per day; in this case, two.

  7. A maximum number of suggested meeting times per day; in this case, 10.

  8. A time span for suggested meeting times of 30 minutes.

  9. A minimum meeting quality time of Good.

  10. Four mailboxes to query for both free/busy information and suggested meeting times.

  11. A client application that has a locale in the Pacific Standard Time (PST) time zone and that observes daylight saving time.

The code example returns the free/busy information for each mailbox to the point that the caller has permission to view that data. It also returns a set of suggested meeting times that are organized by day and indicates the availability of the identified mailbox accounts.
