See and use multiple calendars
Overview: Helping you juggle
Suppose you need to manage or track
someone else’s schedule: a co-
worker’s schedule while she’s on
vacation, a professional conference
series, or even a family member’s daily
activities.
You’d rather not enter all those things
into your work calendar, but you’d still
like to keep track of them in one place.
Keeping multiple calendars is easily
done in Outlook.
See and use multiple calendars
Course goals
• Create additional Outlook calendars and keep them separate
from your main calendar.
• Use multiple calendars and compare the schedules they contain.
• Display or hide different calendars and make multiple calendars
easy to find by organizing them in the Navigation Pane.
Lesson
Track multiple schedules
See and use multiple calendars
Track multiple schedules
When you click
Calendar in the
Navigation Pane, the
calendar that you see
listed under My
Calendars is your
main, or
default, calendar.
This calendar is always named “Calendar.”
You’ll always have this main calendar, but you can
have other calendars as well. That’s what this lesson is
about.
See and use multiple calendars
Create a new calendar
Outlook stores
everything in
folders, including
calendar entries.
So, to create a new
calendar, you’d first
create a new folder in
which to store items
for the new calendar.
As shown in the picture, this can be done easily by
clicking the File menu, pointing to New, and clicking
Calendar.
From there you use the Create New Folder dialog box
and fill in the details for the new folder.

See multiple calendars
The previous section
talked about one way
to create an additional
calendar, called
“Family.”
There are other types of calendars you can see in
Outlook and ways to access them.
Which ones you use will depend on your specific needs
and how your e-mail and computer are set up.
See and use multiple calendars
See multiple calendars
Once you have other
calendars to view in
Outlook, you’ll see
them listed in the
Navigation Pane.
1 In the My Calendars group are two calendars: The
default calendar (the one that’s always called
“Calendar”) and an additional personal calendar. In this
case, the alternate calendar is named “Family.”
The picture shows some examples:

Once you have other
calendars to view in
Outlook, you’ll see
them listed in the
Navigation Pane.
2 In the Other Calendars group, there are two additional
calendars: A Famous birthdays calendar, which is
being subscribed to via the Internet, and a Team Site -
Vacations calendar.
The picture shows some examples:

Once you have other
calendars to view in
Outlook, you’ll see
them listed in the
Navigation Pane.
The People’s Calendars group shows a colleague’s
shared calendar. If you’re using Microsoft Exchange
Server for your e-mail and calendar (which you may do
at work), you’ll be able to share your main calendar with
others.
The picture shows some examples:

How you see them (and how you don’t)
Use the Navigation
Pane to manage
which calendars are
displayed.
To show or hide a calendar, just select or clear its check
box.
The animation shows an example.
Animation: Right-click, and click Play.

Pane to manage

displayed.
To show or hide a calendar, just select or clear its check
box, as the picture shows.

Outlook helps you keep track of it all
Once you have more
than one calendar
displayed, color-
coding and distinct
names help you
distinguish them.
In the picture, the default calendar is blue and the family
calendar is green.
Outlook assigns colors to calendars according to the
order in which you select their check boxes in the
Navigation Pane.

Once you have more

• The first calendar from the left is Calendar. That’s
what the default calendar is always called.
• The next calendar is Family, which is the name used
when the new personal calendar is created.
Notice that each calendar is labeled, as follows:

Match up schedules
After you select the
calendars that you
want to see, you then
get to choose how you
look at them.
You can also view calendars in overlay mode: a
“transparent” mode that allows you to see how multiple
schedules look as one. The animation shows switching
between side-by-side and overlay modes and
controlling which calendar is displayed on top.
Animation: Right-click, and click Play.

You saw how to view
multiple calendars
side by side.

Block out time in your own schedule
Sometimes you’ll want
an appointment to be
in two calendars.
Copying an appointment from one calendar to another is
simple: In side-by-side mode, click the appointment to
select it and then drag it to the destination calendar as
shown in the picture.
Just take care to position the copy in exactly the same
time slot.
See and use multiple calendars
Organize your calendars in the Navigation Pane
An earlier slide
mentioned the
standard group names
for calendars in the
Navigation Pane: My
Calendars, Other
Calendars, and
People’s Calendars.
These group names can be changed. What’s more, if
you want to, you can create your own groups using
names that you choose.
See and use multiple calendars
Organize your calendars in the Navigation Pane
The picture shows
the steps for
creating a new
group and moving a
calendar to it.
1

3
In the Navigation Pane, click Add New Group.
Type a name for your group (here we’ve named the
group “Sales Team”).
Drag each calendar (one at a time) to the group. Here
we’re moving Mike Ray’s calendar from People’s
Calendars to the new Sales Team group.
See and use multiple calendars
Suggestions for practice
1. Move the Date Navigator to the right.
2. Create a separate calendar.
3. Show two calendars, and try the different modes.
4. Copy an appointment from one calendar to another.
5. Add a new group to organize your calendars.

Test question 3
If you want to see how multiple schedules look as one, do this (pick
one answer):
1. Use side-by-side mode.
2. Select the check boxes for all your calendars.
3. Use overlay mode.
4. Clear the check boxes for all but one calendar.
See and use multiple calendars
Test question 3: Answer

how a collection of schedules appear as one.
