I am looking for a method to merge all user’s personal Outlook 2007 calender information, were the activity is set to “Out of office”, into a shared calender view in MOSS. Anybody have an idea on how to do this?

In response to the question about overlaying calendars in MOSS- you can combine calendars by using one calendar list, and use multiple content types within the list. That way, everyone can add distinct types of events, and have dedicated views of specific content types (essentially a separate calendar), and then have a master view that displays all of the content types in a calendar view.

Be sure to base your content types on the Event base content type, or else you won’t be able to use the “Connect to Outlook” functionality….

it’s a little klunky and I get more than I want but try this (and I;m just using WSS 3.0 not MOSS but the concept should be the same):

Locate the second (or subseqent) calendar you want to add to the view and copy the URL.

From your main (or other calendar of choice) Calendar page, click on “Site Actions” or “site settings” then “edit page”.

Click on the “Add a Web Part” bar.

Select “Advanced Web Part Gallery…”

Select “Page Viewer Web Part” and click “add”

In the new web part, click the “edit” drop down and select “Modify…”

Paste the URL under the Link setting and I’d set the “appearance” to give about 6 – 8 inches in height but experiment around with it.

Exit “Edit Mode” and check it out. Make changes as necessary.

This may be klunky but it should provide enough fodder for future developers to monkey around with and tweak to make the process better (and better looking).

I was trying to emulate the google calendar feature of displaying multiple calendars with different colors. doesn’t look like MOSS will do this. but, how do i copy all events from outlook calendar into a sharepoint calendar? (as you mention above)

“Suzanne – Quick fix… set up blank calendar online. Connect it to Outlook (Menu: Actions -> Connect to Outlook). Copy all of the current events from your Outlook calendar into the linked calendar. Since Outlook 2007 now does a 360 sync, it will move it all into your online calendar.”

Mark,

I have not been able to find an answer to this question anywhere. How can a user take their existing Outlook 2007/Exchange 2003 Calendar and import this to SharePoint 2007 as a shared calendar that can be changed by other users?

thanks,
Adam

Now you can manage the calendar either from within Outlook or online.

We have many conference rooms, most of which are set up as resources in Outlook. Although this works great in setting up appointments, it doesn’t work well when you want to find a particular room since our company is spread out between 4 buildings. My solution is to set up a sharepoint site for conference rooms displaying headings for each building and a link to the room’s calendar beneath that so users can view the calendar and get information on the room. I know I can link that room’s SharePoint calendar to my Outlook calendar, but can I take the existing Outlook resource calendar and link it up to its calendar in SharePoint so it displays all the appointments on that calendar.
