Review: Opening a Shared Calendar

In the Calendar Folder the Navigation Pane on the left side of the screen has a link to Open a Shared Calendar. If the Navigation Pane is not visible, go to the View Menu and click on Navigation Pane.

Here is what that pane looks like before any shared calendars are added. (Note: most users will not have multiple calendars listed under "My Calendars")

Calendar Navigation Pane

To Open a Shared Calendar, go to the Calendar Folder and click on the link that is shown outlined in Red in the image to the left. This will open the Open a Shared Calendar dialog box. Either type their user name in the text box or click on the "Name" button. Clicking on the "Name" button will open a dialog box similar to the Global Address Book and allow the user to search for the name. In this example, I am going to add "Chancellors.Calendar", which is a shared calendar that all UWC and UWEX staff can access.

Open a shared calendar dialog

Once the name of the user is added, click on OK. The calendar will appear next to the user's calendar and is also added to the list of "Other Calendars" in the Navigation Pane. Here are those two views:

Side by side calendars and the Navigation Pane with the new shared calendar listed under "Other Calendars.

My Calendars List

To turn the Chancellor's Calendar off, that is to hide it, uncheck the box next to Chancellors Calendar under "Other Calendars". See the image above. Click in the box outlined in blue to turn the shared calendar on or off.
