| If someone on your system has shared their
calendar, then you might want to see it. Follow the directions below to view a
shared calendar. Remember that to see a shared calendar, the other person has to be
on our webserver too. Sharing calendars only works "within the
family". In simpler terms, the other person has to have the same thing at the
end of their email address as you. |
| To start, go to
your email using the webmail client. You will use your internet browser (Internet
Explorer, Firefox, Opera, whatever Apple or Linux uses), and not your typical email client
(Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc...) |
|
| The webmail client
will open into the Inbox. |
|
| Towards the top of
the screen are some tabs. One is labeled Calendar. Click on that tab. |
|
| On the left,
beneath Shared Calendars is a link to Add A Shared Calendar. Click that. |
|
| On the next screen
you SHOULD be able to see the email addresses of people whose calendars are available to
you. I say SHOULD because while writing this guide I noticed that my test account
was not in the list. If it was in the list, I could click on it and then click Add.
It would go to the right side. Since it was not there, and I know for sure it
is available, I typed the email address on the line labeled Email Address. Then I
clicked Add next to it, and it appeared in the list. Click Save at the bottom of the
screen to go on. NOTE! If your screen resolution is set low, the Save button
may not be visible. |
|
| Now under Shared
Calendars you will see the email address of the calendar of the person you added. |
|
| By default, you
don't see their items on the calendar. You have to put a check mark in the box next
to their email address. Do that by clicking one time on the box. You should
see the calendar items for the person you just added. Note that the color of their
items will be different. In our example, "my" appointments are shaded
yellow. Joe's appointments are shaded pink. |
|
| Here's how you
remove someone's calendar from the list. At the top, find the Calendar tab. On
that tab is an upside down triangle. Click on it to reveal a drop down menu.
Select Calendar Manager from the list. |
|
| In the center of
the screen will be your available calendars, each listed by the person's email
address. To the right of the address will be some words. Click Remove to
remove that calendar from your list. |
|
| You will need to
confirm the action. Click OK. |
|
| In our example,
there are no more calendars on the list. |
