Today\u2019s pressures demand we jam more activity into less time. There seem to be more meetings, workshops and events than ever, even if many are virtual. Unfortunately, managing these commitments doesn\u2019t seem to get any easier.<\/p>\n
Most of us are used to scheduling time with tools like Doodle. Many people aren\u2019t aware that there is also FindTime that can plug straight into Outlook (from the \u2018addins\u2019 menu).<\/p>\n
Microsoft are also working on the native abilities of Outlook as part of Microsoft 365.\u00a0 One of the small challenges they have been looking at it is when several people try to alter a shared appointment at once.\u00a0 We can expect to see changes happen faster across all platforms \u2013 PCs, mobiles, web etc , which is especially important for shared and delegated calendars.<\/p>\n
It also lets you accept appointments without sending acknowledgements, albeit I can\u2019t think of why that would be useful, and to limit attachments to just the meeting organiser, instead of someone forwarding an appointment.<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/kinetics.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Schedule.jpg” title_text=”Schedule” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Open Outlook<\/strong> then choose “Account Settings<\/strong>” from the File<\/strong> menu<\/p>\n Open your Exchange Account<\/strong> and\u00a0 choose “More Settings”<\/strong><\/p>\n Next you need the “Advanced”<\/strong> menu and tick “Turn on shared calendar improvements (preview)”<\/strong><\/p>\n Note that warning -this is a preview feature so its not sully supported yet.<\/p>\n Refer<\/strong> Shared calendars updates in Outlook for Windows – Outlook (microsoft.com)<\/a> and Outlook calendar sharing updates – Outlook (microsoft.com)<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/kinetics.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/TurnOnSharedCalendar.jpg” title_text=”TurnOnSharedCalendar” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Outlook is getting a faceliftToday\u2019s pressures demand we jam more activity into less time.
