Enhancements to O365 Groups Calendar in Outlook - Never miss an event sent to a group.
- Jan 26, 2017
Ivan54 - It is unlikely since we are just beggining the rollout of this feature to have impacted what you are saying. Also, when a group event is created in O365 group, currently, only the users who have subscribed to messages from that group would get that in their Inbox and it would show up in their calendar. In other words, unless the calendar invite lands somewhere in the user mailbox, it wouldnt show up in their calendar. Is it possible that the members are subscribed to the messages and may have missed the invite or it went to another folder?

Thanks for the update!
While I know there are other tools available to do this type of thing, I would like to have multiple calendars for a group. Is that possible now?
I'd like to have a calendar that was just for tasks and duites that would allow us to put in our recurring tasks that are weekly, monthly, annually, etc. This calendar would then be used as a master template and members could click on certain tasks and add them to their personal calendar if they want. I really don't want to clutter up the main Group calendar with these types of things, but would want a seperate calendar instead. The main group calendar would be reserved for general meeting type of entries.
Thanks again for the update!

Thanks for the input Greg. Correct me if I am wrong here, the core requirement seems to be that you need a better way to categorize certain types of events/appointments on the calendar and the ability to sort/filter by those filters easily. Adding multiple calendars to a group could be a way we can solve this, another possibility would be to add some meta-data around these events so they get categorized better.
