Its job is to perform background functions for resource profiles which are referenced by a physical display , but not necessarily refreshed by that display. One possible example of this is when room and desk icons are shown on a Maps profile, but the individual profiles for these resources themselves are not displayed and therefore are not automatically refreshed.

...

  • sending Sending email check-in reminders in situations where there are no room screen displays or Maps running

  • performing Performing optional auto-cancellation for desks and rooms
