3. Enter a name or part of a name or leave the field blank to expand the search. Click **Find**.
4. Use ![An arrow pointing right to select names.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sales-sales_productivity-264-0-0-production-enus/b2f6c36a-fa61-4a3c-9752-032ce1818a69/sales_productivity/images/calendar/arrow_right_grey.png) and ![An arrow pointing left to deselect names.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sales-sales_productivity-264-0-0-production-enus/b2f6c36a-fa61-4a3c-9752-032ce1818a69/sales_productivity/images/calendar/arrow_left_grey.png) to select and deselect people or resources. To invite more people or resources, search again and select the invitees you want.
5. Click **Done**.
6. Review the calendar of each invitee and adjust the date and time of the event if necessary.
    
    The availability of invitees is indicated in color on their calendars: busy time is blue and out-of-office time is red. If an invitee has more than one event scheduled for a particular time, all the events are shown on the calendar. To see the details of an event, hover your mouse over the event on the calendar.
7. To remove an invitee from an event, click **Remove** next to the invitee’s name.
8. Click **Save & Send Update**.
    
    Invited leads, contacts, and person accounts receive an email containing a link to a web page. They can accept or decline the invitation for the event or event series. You also receive an email summary of the event. If an invited resource is available at the given time, the resource automatically accepts the invitation.
