Introduction to Delegated Calendars
In this tutorial, we will explore how to effectively manage a delegated calendar in Outlook. Delegated calendars allow users to create events and schedule appointments on behalf of someone else, such as a colleague or manager.
Granting Delegate Access
When you are granted delegate access to someone else's calendar, you will receive an email notification. To accept this access, simply click 'Accept' in the email. Once accepted, a 'View Calendar' button will appear, providing you with direct access to the delegated calendar.
Accessing the Delegated Calendar
To access the delegated calendar later, navigate to 'My Calendars' on the left sidebar. Select the calendar owner's name. If the name does not appear, click 'Add Calendar' and search for the user in the directory to manually add it.
Creating Appointments
To create an appointment on the delegated calendar, open the scheduling window. Ensure that the drop-down menu next to the 'Send' button has the agenda owner's name selected. Complete the rest of the appointment details as you normally would, and then click 'Send'. Participants will receive the event invite as if it came directly from the person who delegated their calendar to you.
Tracking Participant Responses
To track participant responses, select the event in the calendar. This will allow you to view who has accepted, declined, or is pending for the event.
Modifying or Cancelling Events
As a delegate, you have the ability to modify or cancel events. To modify an event, select it, make your changes, and click 'Send Update'. To cancel an event, select it and click 'Cancel', which will notify all participants.
Adjusting Calendar Access
If you need to modify or revoke calendar access, right-click on the calendar and select 'Sharing and Permissions'. Here, you can adjust access levels or remove a delegate by clicking the trash icon next to their name.
Conclusion
You now know how to manage a delegated calendar in Outlook, including creating events, managing appointments, and adjusting permissions. This knowledge will enhance your productivity and collaboration with colleagues.
