Adding Participants to Conference Templates
There are two ways to add participants to a Conference template:
• Define the participant directly during the Conference template definition
(the participant may be Embedded in the Conference template or Linked,
depending on the selected mode). For details, see “Defining a New
Participant during Conference Template Definition” on page 10-82.
• Assign an existing participant from the database to the conference
(participant “linked”).
The Conference template can include both types of participants.
When assigning a “linked” participant to the Conference template, a pointer
to that participant will be added to the Conference template without copying
its parameters to the conference. When modifying the properties of a “linked”
participant in one Conference template, its properties will also be modified in
all the Conference templates to which the participant is linked, as well as in
the Participant template stored in the database.
Participants embedded in a Conference template are not saved in the database
and therefore do not appear as an entry in the participants database list. They
can only be viewed as part of the Conference template in the Conference
Template window or in the New Meeting window.
To assign participants to the current Conference template:

While the Conference template properties are displayed, point to the
Participant Templates menu, and then click Add Participants on the
pop-up menu.
