Calendars

What is the difference between a public calendar and a shared calendar?

The public calendar lists all the events in the shared calendar that were set as ‘public’ events. The shared calendar is only accessible to the users within the group while the public calendar is available to everyone at the URL listed in the lower right corner of the group home page.

 

The personal calendar section of an account is designed for the user of the account to keep his/her personal events, these events might not be work related. On the other hand, we have designed the groups section with shared calendars for the user to keep all the work related events. In other words, you can schedule a meeting with your employees in a group's shared calendar; you can also check what your employees have scheduled by checking this calendar and not their personal calendar.

 

What is the public calendar password?

The public calendar password is the same as the group password. If the group does not contain a password then the public calendar won’t be password protected.

 

How do I schedule an event as a meeting?

To schedule an event as a meeting, please follow these instructions:

  1. Click the groups header on the left navigation bar.

  2. Click on the Group Memberships icon then select the group you would like to access from the list of group names listed in the memberships page. When the group's homepage loads up on your account's main window, click on the Shared Calendar icon on the left navigation bar.

  3. From the Shared Calendar page, click on the add event button located in the menu at the top of the page, next fill out the event's details and check the Schedule event as meeting option.

  4. When this option is selected, the Meeting Information section will appear at the bottom of the page, you can then select the users you would like to invite to the meeting and check their schedules for the most convenient time to schedule the meeting.

Note: You cannot schedule a meeting from your personal calendar because this calendar is designed for a user's personal use; however, you can overlay any combination of your groups and personal calendars, you can also store this overlay as your default calendar profile.

 

Why can’t I see all day events in a calendar’s daily view?

The daily view feature only shows your activities starting at 8am; in order to see an all day event, you need to click on 'entire day' to see all the activities scheduled that day starting at 12am.

 

Why is it that when I print my calendar’s monthly view, I do not get the calendar layout?

  2. Click on the Advanced tab in the internet options window and check Print background colors and images under Printing
