When Office Outlook 2007 is integrated with Windows SharePoint Services, it’s easy to manage all your calendar information, including information from calendars stored on a SharePoint site, from one location. You can display a SharePoint calendar either within Outlook or from the SharePoint site.
- Start Outlook, and display the Calendar.
- Start Internet Explorer, and log into your SharePoint site, e.g., yourdomain.sharesrvr.com.
- Navigate to a page with a Calendar Web Part section.
- Click the Calendar title.
- Click the Actions drop-down menu, and select Connect to Outlook.
- Outlook displays your Outlook calendar and the SharePoint calendar side by side.
- You can view multiple calendars side by side or in overlay mode, in which the contents of the calendars appear on top of each other. This makes it easy to locate scheduling conflicts between multiple calendars.
In Outlook, click the arrow on the default calendar tab. Outlook displays your calendar and the default calendar in overlay mode. You can switch between the calendars by clicking their tabs. To return to side-by-side mode, click the arrow on either calendar tab.
You can work with the SharePoint calendar as you would with your regular Outlook calendar. Any changes you make to the SharePoint calendar in Outlook are reflected in the calendar when it is viewed on the SharePoint site.
