Controlling if the default online meeting is used automatically

HCL Verse 3.2.3 allows end users to go into their Verse Settings and change the value of the Always add an online meeting when creating a calendar event preference through the Calendar > Define Default Meeting

The notes.ini setting VOP_ALWAYS_ADD_ONLINE_MEETING_DEFAULT will control the default of this preference for all users on the Domino server.

The preference is enabled by default and can disabled by applying a notes.ini setting:

VOP_ALWAYS_ADD_ONLINE_MEETING_DEFAULT=0	Disables the default online meeting from being added automatically.
VOP_ALWAYS_ADD_ONLINE_MEETING_DEFAULT=1	The default setting is to automatically add the default online meeting.

If VOP_ALWAYS_ADD_ONLINE_MEETING_DEFAULT is not in notes.ini, the default is to add the default online meeting automatically.

Note: The notes.ini setting does not lock the value. The end user can go to their Verse Settings page and change the value as needed.
