Using the Event Scheduler Portlet
The Scheduler portlet is a quick way to enter event records. The Scheduler enables you to select people to invite, and see their availability directly on the Activities tab in NetSuite. It is useful for creating a group event. When you select the group in the View Group list, the list of group members displays in the Scheduler. After you set the date and time, click Create New Event to create the event record.
