Can someone tell me if the Outlook phone app is capable of displaying the colors set up for categories in the calendar? We have numerous teams using resource calendars and color coding the appointments with a different color for each person. They are complaining that they don't see the colors in the Outlook App on their phone. I tested this on my Android phone and don't see any colors. The user that submitted the complaint has an iPhone. I am having difficulty finding out from googling whether this feature is available in the Outlook phone app or not because the results just keep coming up for Outlook not the Outlook phone app. And if it is available, is it available for both Android & iOS or only one of those?156KViews7likes32CommentsBest Setup for Office 365 Vacation Calendar
I was hoping to get advice on the best way to set up a calendar in Office 365 for vacation/time-off request approvals. Would the best way be to create an email address and have the calendar items associated with that email? Or creating a group? Or creating a room for those requests and calendar events? Thanks!143KViews0likes18CommentsHow to add events to a Teams calendar without sending out a mass invite to all users
Hi All, Just had the functionality to add a Calendar as a Tab to a Microsoft Team. We were hoping to use this to track days off (as all day 'free time' events with no attendees), and to schedule meetings that the Department can track, but doesn't necessarily require everyone to be invited. However, every time we add an event, it automatically sends an invite to everyone in the team, and posts the content in the Posts section of the team. We looked at the Required Attendees, and no one was listed. Under the Scheduling Assistant, the only person listed under the Required Attendees is the user creating the invite. There is no one else in the team added. However, all teams members get an invite in their Outlook. Is there a way to: 1. Schedule items into the Calendar where invites are not sent out? 2. Ways to limit the users that do get invites if we want to have smaller meetings? 3. Stop it from posting everything to the Posts chat? (similar to adding a tab where you can deselect the "post to this channel about the tab") Thanks.Solved109KViews8likes7CommentsDisplaying the events web part as a full calendar view of the month on a modern page?
I'm using a modern web page in SharePoint Online to display events. With the modern events web part, it only displays upcoming events as tiles. The people I'm building the site for would like their events web part to show a full grid view of the calendar month. I can't seem to find a way to do this in the modern experience. Would be great if anybody knows how I can do this (if it's possible)? Thanks85KViews2likes24CommentsDuplicate Calendar Invites Sent
Beginning 12/13/18 we got a report from one of our end users that Calendar invite emails were being sent multiple times to the recipients (both internal and external). The recipient would report receiving the invite many times (10+ in many cases) but the invite email only shows up once in the meeting creators Outlook Sent Items folder. We verified through message tracker that the invite is actually being sent by O365 several times so it's not something wrong with the recipients side recreating them. We now have several users who are reporting this issue as of 12/14. We thought it might be Outlook or Outlook plugin related but we've kind of discounted that because even with Outlook closed the invite emails continue to be sent. Is anyone else seeing this type of activity? We have a ticket opened with O365 support but it hasn't yielded any positive results yet. Thoughts?Solved73KViews1like9CommentsOutlook desktop client - showing multiple months of calendar in To-Do bar
"In the old days" you could show as many months of calendar in the to-do bar space as the width would allow. As you dragged the width wider, more months would fill in. Now no matter how wide you make the screen real estate, only one month is visible. My screenshot below makes it clear what I'm saying. The yellow spaces used to show the month before and after the "primary" month that was currently displayed in the main window. As I don't think this is a setting, Microsoft please consider this a suggestion -- to bring back the described functionality as it was until at least Outlook 2013 if not even more recent. Thanks.Solved71KViews3likes33CommentsHow do I book a meeting room for an invite that has been sent to me
We use room resource calendars for our room bookings. Usually we just add the meeting room into the location field or even as a participant and it books the room. When we get meeting invitations from external parties not in our organisation (e.g. suppliers) that will visit us, we'd like to book a meeting room for that visit. How do we do this? The only way we can currently do this is by creating our own duplicate calendar entry for the meeting and choose that room as the location, but we'd like to find a more integrated way, rather than having two separate unlinked calendar entries. With separate calendar entries, if the external meeting initiator changes meeting time, we have to manually change our own related calendar entry which we forget to do resulting in room being booked for wrong time. Any solutions or suggestions to help with this problem?69KViews5likes26CommentsShared Calendar Appointment Detail Not Displaying In Outlook 2016
We are having an issue where group members can only see "Free/Busy" for event details in our shared Group Calendar in Outlook 2016. They are able to see full event details when accessing the Group Calender in a browser. I can't seem to find an answer anywhere of why this is occurring. Anyone know what I might be oerlooking?64KViews0likes5Comments
