Q: Invite Resource or Location From Lightning Extension of Thunderbird on Windows

We use Calendar Server to manage personnel schedules, as well as two locations and two resources. Most of the users access this information from the calendar app on an iPhone, so locations are easy.

 

Our primary scheduler, however, uses Thunderbird with the Lightning extension to work with the calendars of our staff. Currently, she is just adding events to personnel calendars, and is just adding events directly to resource calendars, as she is a delegate.

 

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to do "invites" for people, locations, and resources from Thunderbird. With the current method, if an event changes, she needs to manually change it on multiple calendars. Further, when she adds items to personnel calendars, they don't get alerts on their iPhones. They have to actually go look at the calendar to realize there has been a change.

 

Any suggestions would be great!
