Trio 8800 with Visual Pro: Show all events from the whole day on the touchscreen calendar

[dgs8535]

Hello,

I would like for my conference room users to be able to see and join any meeting from the day from the calendar menu.

I have attempted to upload a cfg file with the exchange.meeting.showOnlyCurrentOrNext="0". After uploading the cfg file, the configuration does not "stick."

1 - Will the attempted configuration accomplish what I want? IE - to display meetings from the entire day at all times during the day?

2 - How do I effect this change? My attempts to do so have not succeeded.

Phone information:

Phone Model	Trio 8800
Part Number	3111-65290-001 Rev:B

UC Software Version	5.9.5.3182
Updater Signature	Release

The device is paired with a VisualPro and EagleEye Director II.

My sample cfg file contents are shown below.

Thank you!

I have an 8500 running 7.1.1.0731 and this feature is actually available in the web interface - so you shouldn't have to wrestle with cfg files on this need - as far as I know.  

Under preferences/additional preferences, there is an Idle Screen Settings menu that lets you choose between Menu/Dialpad/Calendar

In your case, you'll choose Calendar and, at rest, the calendar for the day will be displayed on the Trio.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t going over 5.9 break web sign in and 3pip via teams hosted voice in hybrid mode? If that’s not the case, your solution will work for me.

Sorry - I have no idea.  My Trio is setup in Generic Mode with a basic SIP line for basic dial out.  Line 2 is Teams.  Line 3 is Zoom.  

My question to you would be - does the option I mention for preferences - is it available in your menu?

[dgs8535]

The option is there.  The issue is that I need to see every meeting from the day - not just the ones now and in the future.  I want to see meetings from the past that are still from today.

[Adam in DC]

I have no experience with that option in that particular way.  I did a search on:

• exchange.meeting.showOnlyCurrentOrNext

And the only references I can see are for future meetings, not past meetings.  After all - then you'd have to control how far back you'd want to go.  Just today.  Yesterday?  Last week?  Could get messy.  

One option is to create a Realconnect/Teams Lobby and a separate Zoom Lobby on lines/speed dials 2 and 3.  This would allow users to rejoin a past meeting that might still be in process - and then they could enter the VTC code.  (see attached)  Not as nice as a one touch dial - but I have no idea if a Trio can support the display of past scheduled meetings in the calendar.  You'd probably have to put in a service ticket with your reseller on that.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Adam. I don’t think that’s a practical solution for me. Really appreciate you replying.

Hello @dgs8535 ,

Welcome to the Poly Community.

exchange.meeting.showOnlyCurrentOrNext="0"

The above is the default as shown >here< and therefore is not shown in a backup.

Is this about what is being displayed on the Trio or the actual Visual+/Pro?

There is another parameter that allows going back in time:

exchange.meeting.allowScrollingToPast

If the above is enabled you can scroll back in time for expired meetings

Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.

Best Regards

allow scrolling to the past looks very promising.  I did not see that in the documentation, thank you.  What should that look like in the config file? Something like this? exchange.meeting.allowScrollingToPast="1"

Thank you for letting me know.

Yes
