Outlook 2010 - Accepting a calendar share request
Another user wants to share their calendar with you and has given you the necessary permissions (viewing rights) so that you can view the details of their calendar.
|
Please note: This depends on your departmental
policy. Some departments will have an 'open Calendar' policy. This might
mean that all Calendars in a department are open to colleagues in the same
department but 'closed' (entries seen as 'free/busy' only) to the
rest of UCL. Alternatively, other departments might choose to have a 'closed Calendar' policy where all members of staff (in the department or otherwise) can only see Free/Busy but not further details. |
Follow the steps below to accept their share request.
1. Your colleague has
requested that you
have viewing rights to their calendar. You should now have a Sharing
Invitation request sitting in your Inbox. Much like the example
below. The Info Bar in the message will say something like "<Name> has
invited you to view his or her Calendar".
2. Double click on the Sharing Invitation to
open and you will be presented with a Email looking window populated
with From, To and Subject details pertaining
to the request they have made for you to access their calendar. Click on
the Open this Calendar button.
3. Outlook will then automatically direct you to
the Calendar section where you will see your own Calendar and also your
colleague's
side by side.
4. On the left of the screen,
within the navigation pane, you will see an option which reads Shared Calendars and your colleagues name underneath.
The more calendar access
you have and the more
invitations you accept, a list of colleagues will appear under shared
calendars allowing you to view
them simultaneously. By clicking on the
check box by each name you can turn on and off viewing the calendar as
you
please.
