SergiVirtoExcuse my ignorance, but what is VirtoCalender? Its not something you're selling is it?
Everyone has their own approach. You can either wait for Microsoft to fix the issue, or you can use alternative solutions.
VirtoCalendar offers more than standard calendars. It allows you to create a personalized view with overlays of important calendars. Additionally, you can create temporary calendars for projects or events based on SharePoint lists.
In fact, you can merge all types of calendars, including external ones like Gmail from subcontractors, and more.
You have more freedom to customize interfaces, making them more convenient, ergonomic, and always accessible, while still working with MS Exchange and SharePoint.
These views can be tailored for teams, added to Teams, or SharePoint Sites. You can color-code them, customize display options, and more.
It's important to note that all of this operates within the Microsoft security paradigm. This means you can utilize the Microsoft security system and avoid sharing your data with third parties while using VirtoCalendar.
- This. this is the issue we're having in this thread. We pay WAY too much already for Office products to be shipped with broken basic features, and I'd be damned to support their bad practices by also paying a random developer on the side to fix their crap. That's a hard no my friend. Sorry.
AndrewR173 Search "calendar" on appsource and check the pricing. Thanks.
- SergiVirto I`m curious. How much does your solution cost?
- Can you explain why? It works perfectly so far.
AndrewR173 We have added the ability to name and color categories for Outlook Groups. It works with VirtoCalendar at the moment.
corner3Its straight up embarrassing. MS has been pushing a broken BASIC function for 5 YEARS. If that's not a sign of the times, I don't know what is.
We've resorted to using the default color categories, and then having a nearby legend to reference. Again, embarrassing for a multi-billion $ company.Satya Nadella should be ashamed. But he's too busy pushing garbage AI assistants to pump the stock price.
- just start using group calendar and of course we have the same isue.
SergiVirto - here's a suggestion, maybe don't sell a solution to fix basic functionality that MS broke.
