Can I schedule people who are not using Oracle Calendar for a meeting?

Only Oracle Calendar users can be scheduled for meetings. However, you can send email messages to external users who are not on your calendar network with an iCalendar or vCalendar attachment that contains the meeting information. The email recipient can then import the attachment into their own calendar system.
