Why can't I view the "Group Calendar" after synching in Outlook or in OfficeCalendar Online?
Answer
Starting with OfficeCalendar version 6.0.0.0. the default "Group Calendar" is automatically disabled for each OfficeCalendar Client. This was done to eliminate any confusion upon initial configuration of OfficeCalendar. This feature is still available, it is simply initially disabled by default. To utilize the "Group Calendar", each OfficeCalendar Client will need to activate this folder within their own configurations.
To activate this folder for each OfficeCalendar Client go within Outlook and click the Configure OfficeCalendar icon.
From the "Sync Settings" tab click "Select...".
Check the "Group Calendar" tab check-mark "Group Calendar" and click "Save".
After the OfficeCalendar Client's next synchronization completes they will display the "Group Calendar".
Additionally, each OfficeCalendar Clients' local settings will replicate to their OfficeCalendar Online view. So, if "Group Calendar" is unchecked for an OfficeCalendar Client within their local Outlook, they will not be able to view the "Group Calendar" from OfficeCalendar Online either until this has been configured.
*****PLEASE NOTE***** If the OfficeCalendar Administrator has setup any additional group calendars aside from the one "Group Calendar" provided by default, those will synchronize and be viewable by the OfficeCalendar Clients with permission to view those and will not require additional configurations, only the default "Group Calendar" is disabled upon initial installation.
