  3. Do any of the following. Numbers entered in fields will be displayed as links. You can add phone numbers to any field (for example, in the Subject, Location, and Notes fields).
    • Tap
      Subject
       to enter a subject for the event.
    • Under
      Participants
      , do any of the following:
      • Tap

      You can remove one or more suggested participants cached based on the Sent Items folder.
    • Tap

       and specify a date. Tap

       again to set the start date selected. If you schedule an event, your availability is shown under

    • Tap
      View Schedules
       to drag the event to different times in the
      BlackBerry Work
       calendar and find the best time for added participants. The availability of participants is indicated by changes to the color of their avatar. Time zone information for the invitees also displays.
      If a user makes an update to their time zone information in Microsoft Outlook for Mac,
      BlackBerry Work
       does not detect the change and the incorrect time zone might display for that user in calendar events.
    • In the
      Suggested Time
       area, you can tap a time for your meeting.
    • If applicable, turn on the
      All Day
       indicator.
    • Tap
      Repeat
       and then tap one of the available intervals (the default value is
      Never
      ).

      Add Conference details
       to quickly add the default conference details to the meeting invitation. For information, see Change BlackBerry Work for iOS settings.
    • Turn on
      Create Teams Meeting
       to host the event on
      Microsoft Teams
      .
      The Add Conference details and Create Teams Meeting options cannot be enabled at the same time. When one is turned on, the other will be turned off.

      Calendar
       to specify which calendar to add the event to.
    • Tap
      Location
       to specify where the event will be held. You can enter a call-in phone number and passcode here. A setting available in Calendar settings under Passcode causes any phone number in this field to be displayed as the default. (Numbers in all fields are otherwise displayed as the default.)

       to set a meeting reminder. From the list that is displayed, check when you want the reminder to be sent.

For information, see Add a shared calendar. Setting the Show As to "Working elsewhere" in your main calendar is not supported, the status synchronizes to it.
