Personal Events and Private Events: What's the Difference?

Personal events appear only on your personal Calendar. You can tell that they're personal events because they have a personal icon beside them. Other members see these events only when you give them access to view your personal Calendar through the Calendar Sharing feature.

Private events could be personal events or they could be scheduled with other people. Even when you allow another member to see your personal Calendar, they are not allowed to access the title of, or any details about a private event. During the block of time when a private event is scheduled, they see only the word "Private."

Managing Someone Else's Calendar in your online office

If another member/colleague grants you access, you can add new events to their Calendar. For example, if you are an executive assistant, your managers might give you access to their Calendars so you can schedule appointments for them.

To add an event to another member's Calendar:

1. Click Calendar in the Menu.

2. In the View calendar for drop-down at the top of the page, choose the name of the member's Calendar that you'd like to see.

3. Click New in the Command Bar.

4. Fill in the event details, and then click Save in the Command Bar.
