When adding an item to a calendar list in Sharepoint the default ‘New Item’ form gives the user a checkbox option to ‘Use a Meeting Workspace to organize attendees, agendas, documents, minutes, and other details for this event.’.

This may be of use on team sites and for the right ’savvy’ users. However if using the Calendar in an environment with a wider audience such as an intranet this option can:

  • Be confusing for the user.
  • Enable multiple workspace sites to be created without the site owners / site collection administrators knowledge or control.

I have therefore found the need to remove the ‘Workspace’ option from the New and Edit forms of the calendar.
