Dumb Outlook Calendar sharing Question
Ok..I have a rather simple question to ask about Calendar sharing in Outlook.
I'm not terribly familiar with Outlook in and MS Exchange environment, but here's my question: I recently installed an MS Exchange server at my company, and everyone's Outlook Client is configured to use it. We are a company that provides on-site industrial maintenance to clients. We currently use a shared ACT! database to schedule tech appointments. All the techs have access to the same ACT! calendar. The company secretary enters appointments into the shared Calendar. At the start of each workday, the techs access the shared ACT! calendar and see what has been scheduled for themselves and the other techs for that day. Now that we have moved everyone to Outlook with Exchange, is there a way to do the same thing as we have been doing in ACT? We would like to have a shared Outlook Calendar that all the techs can access, where they can see all the other appointments of other techs, and where the company secretary can enter and/or change appointments that will show-up in the shared Calendar, and the techs can review it and see what is scheduled for themselves or other techs on that day. This "shared" Calendar would be in addition to the "built-in" Outlook calendar that is installed with Outlook. They would still use this calendar for their "private" stuff. Is something like this possible? I certainly hope it is, because I sold them on the idea of moving everyone's Outlook to run-off of an Exchange server; and I told them I thought it was possible to do this. Many thanks in advance for any answers! |
