Shared Calendars

Shared calendars allow all people to plan ahead and offers many benefits including:

• Business events: Shared calendars allow a simple mechanism to allow individuals or group members to share important events in the business calendar.
  Benefits: Maintain information about pending events and ensure that all members of staff have a synchronised view.
   
• Resource booking:. Using the calendars for resource booking allows staff to check the availability of resources such as meeting rooms, projectors and test equipment, and to make bookings for those resources. All bookings are tagged with the user information for the person making the booking.
  Benefits: Reduce time lost resolving conflicts, tracing misplaced items. Reduce loss due to resources not being available when desperately needed.
   
• Birthdays: Use the calendar to create birthday and anniversary reminders for important business contacts.
  Benefits: Add a personal touch when contacting them, such as wishing them a happy birthday. Many customers will be gratified that they are sufficiently important to you to be remembered.
   
• Appointments:. Shared Calendars allow members of staff with access to the calendar to make appointments. Each user can then see those appointments.
  Benefits: The company secretary can book meetings and appointments knowing that there will not be any clashes and that the relevant individuals will be available.
   
• Notifications: Each calendar event can set one of several different notifications to be automatically generated at a given time before the event.
  Benefits: These notifications ensure that important events cannot be missed.
