Scheduling Meetings for Co-Workers (but not myself)

[editprod]

I want to use Outlook to schedule meetings for colleagues who do job
interviews (sometimes one, some both sit in on the interviews). I'm
seldom a participant -- usually just do the calendaring for them. Is
there a way to use "Plan a Meeting" to put a meeting on the
co-worker(s)' calendar(s) without it being on my calendar. Actions|Plan
a Meeting helps me view multiple calendars to see who's available, but I
don't see a way to remove myself (the organizer) as a particpant. Would
I need to access individual co-worker calendars via Delegate authority?
Is there a different or better way to handle this?

Thanks

Delegate access to their calendars is the best method to schedule meetings for them but not on your calendar. Have you discussed this with them?

Thanks, will do. I was hoping there was a way to utilize the
convenience of Plan a Meeting to view multiple calendars, make a
"meeting," and remove myself as a required or optional attendee. Your
answer tells me that not possible -- that I have to go the delegate
route. I assume, too, that there are no add-ons to do the job differently.

None that I know of.
