Tip of the Week: Managing Multiple Schedules
Applications: Outlook & SharePoint
Scheduling a meeting with multiple people or managing multiple schedules for various projects can be challenging. Offices use calendars to schedule meetings, vacations, phone coverage, appointments and more. To manage multiple schedules, there are several technology tools available.
Scheduling MeetingsMicrosoft Outlook calendars offer schedule availability options. Each faculty and staff member can designate times as busy, free, tentative, or out of the office. To schedule a meeting in Outlook:
1. Click on the calendar tab in the navigation pane
2. Select the date for the meeting
3. Right-click to open the dialog box and choose an option such as New Appointment, New All Day Event, New Meeting Request, etc.
4. A new dialog box will open. Select options for title, location, length of meeting, reminders, importance, etc.
When inviting others to a meeting with a meeting request, they are given the option to accept, decline, or mark tentative. The meeting request then keeps track of who has responded and how.
Office Calendars
When working with a group of people, SharePoint calendars can be used. The flexibility of SharePoint allows multiple calendars to be built in any site. A different calendar can be used for each project or person. SharePoint calendars can be connected to Outlook for ease of adding and modifying events. SharePoint also has options to determine levels of access to view, edit, or delete events.
