Conference ID Length using PCO

[robertgardner]

When we create a conference using PCO (Polycom Conferencing for Microsoft Outlook), the conference ID is always set to 6 digits. How can we reduce this to 4 digits?

Hi Robert,

Please do the following:

1. Open Microsoft Outlook

2. Click on the "Schedule Polycom Conference" plug-in

3. Within the new invitation window, click on the bottom arrow of the "Conference" plug-in and select "Options"

4. Click "Configuration Policy", select "My custom configuration" and click "OK"

5. Repeat step number 3.

6. Select "Video Network" and within the "Generated number length" field set the number from 6 to 4

7. Click "OK" and you're done

Hope this helps!

I've found the entry "generatedLength" in the settings.xml file that gets written to from the Configuration Policy. Changing this has changed the conference id length.

<Setting>
    <name>generatedLength</name>
    <Type>string</Type>
    <Value>4</Value>
  </Setting>
