To
create an event site, you can use the regular method of creating a
site, as explained earlier in this article, and choose one of the event
meeting templates available. This way, you can create an event site but not link it to the calendar event item itself; you can do the linking later.
You also can create the site
directly from the calendar event item itself. To do so, simply open the
calendar event item for which you want to create a site or you create a
new calendar event item (see Figure 1) and select the Workspace option. Then click Save.
When you click Save, the page shown in Figure 2 appears. It enables you to specify the settings for the new site.
In this page, you can either
create a new site (which is the default behavior). Or, if there are
already subsites available, you see the Link to an Existing Meeting
Workspace option. If you choose this option, you only need to click OK
to associate the event list item with the meeting workspace because the
site was already created and configured.
If you choose to create a new
site, click OK to be redirected to the template selection page. On this
page, you see the available meeting workspace templates to choose from
(see Figure 3).
After
you select a template and create the site, a new site is created from
that template. Different templates offer different lists in the site.
The most common one is the basic meeting workspace, which offers
management of objectives, agenda, attendees, and a document library to
hold documents related to the event (see Figure 4).
