Forcing Appointments
in [Calendar]
|
From: Malaking on 27 Feb 2010 09:16 I use outlook to schedule appointments with my customers with specific employees. I have a scheduling department that does this scheduling via outlook. The employees have no option to reject or modify these appointments; therefore, I would like to force this on their calendar with them having to accept it and not allowing them to modify it. Additionally, I need to know real time once they are scheduled. Right now I don't know they are scheduled until they accept and that sometimes takes too long and then they are inadvertently double booked by the scheduling department. So how do I force appointments on calendars which are not editable? Thanks for your help.. Submitted using http://www.outlookforums.com

Submitted using http://www.outlookforums.com I wrote a web-based application for this for a customer. It handles scheduling and accommodates multiple time slots and multiple employees availability. They simply see new items on the shared calendar. With Microsoft Exchange comes the free/busy capability. That would make what you want possible. -- Leonid S.

From: Judy Gleeson (MVP Outlook) on 27 Feb 2010 17:49 I suggest increasing your permission level so you can enter appointments directly into their Calendars. It seems you have the authority to do so, but the Outlook permissions are not set up to match. -- Regards Judy Gleeson MVP Outlook "Malaking" <malakingaso[at]gmail[dot]com> wrote in message news:eQtG6d7tKHA.4220(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >I use outlook to schedule appointments with my customers with specific >employees.

From: Malaking on 27 Feb 2010 18:07 Judy, Thanks for the reply. How do I go about increasing my permission? Additionally, I would really like outlook to prevent another other appointment being allowed to overlap with a current appointment. Is this possible?

Ask the staff to make you Contributing Editor on their Calendar. They are the ones who Set Permissions on their Calendar. You could ask your Exchange Administrator to help you.
