Multiple calendars

1. Multiple calendars

You might want to have instant visibility to a co-workers schedule. In this case, you can subscribe to their calendar. To add a co-worker's calendar, select add other calendars at the top of the other calendars list. Select subscribe to calendar, and type the person's name in the add calendar box. Google calendar will suggest people as you type. If you have permission to view the calendar will be added to your other calendars list. After the calendar is added, you can also set event notifications and other notifications settings for that calendar. In addition to co-workers calendars, you can also browse resources and calendars of interest, add a public calendar via URL, or import a calendar from a file in iCal or outlook CSV formats. As discussed previously, resources are centrally managed calendars that represent a shared location or thing. Calendars of interest include religious and regional holidays, major sports team schedules, and phases of the Moon. If you have multiple calendars, you can show and hide the events on each calendar using the checkbox to the left of the calendar name in your list. If you haven't already added a colleagues calendar, do so now. Then check and uncheck the box to the left of your colleagues name to view this behavior. You can also choose a color for each calendar to make it easy to determine which events belong to each calendar. Google Calendar allows you to create additional calendars to schedule for a project, an event or any other purpose beyond that of your primary calendar. To create an additional or secondary calendar, select add other calendars at the top of the other calendars list and then select Create new calendar. Give the calendar a name, optionally a description and set the default time zone for events. Then select Create calendar to add it. When the calendar is added, it will appear in your my calendars list beneath your primary calendar. You can then modify the settings for it and add collaborators and viewers. After you've created your additional calendar, you should ensure that you set the permissions correctly. Calendars you've added to your lists, that is the calendars other than your primary calendar and tasks, can be removed when you no longer need to view or interact with them. Select unsubscribe to remove a calendar. This won't remove the calendar from any other Google Calendar user, even if you created it. Alternatively, you can just hide the calendar from your view without unsubscribing from it by deselecting the checkbox to the left of the calendar name or select hide from list from the calendar options pop up to stop viewing it. To view it in your list again, Open Google Calendar Settings and select show in calendar list next to the calendar name.
