Whenever a user confirms command execution, the effects of the command are immediately reflected in all affected display windows for that user, unless filter or option settings limit the visibility of the effects. The definition of "affected display window" is any visible window the contents of which are altered by the command execution. The scenarios in the preceding sections describe the specific effects of commands in specific contexts.

When a meeting scheduler confirms an operation to schedule, change, or delete, the notification dialog and penciled-in changes appear immediately on the displays of all active attending users whose filter and option settings permit. If user option settings limit when the notification dialog can appear, it appears as soon as the option setting allows or is changed to allow. When a user hides penciled-in items, such items appear immediately after the user changes the pencil-in option to `show'.

Display updates to other user and group calendars do not appear dynamically. If user A is viewing user B, changes made by user B do not appear on user A's screen until user A re-executes the command the generates the view of user B's calendar. Similarly, if user A is viewing group calendar G, changes made by a leader of G do not appear on A's screen until A re-executes the command that generates the changed group calendar view.

Display updates that reflect user or group database changes do not appear dynamically. If user A is viewing a display that contains information about user B, changes made by an admistrator to that information to not appear on user A's screen until user A re-executes the command that generates the affected display. Details of adminstrator database changes are presented in Section 2.6.
