Subject: [Advising] Outlook Calendar/SSC Sync Work Around

 

Hello all,

 

At the most recent SSC workflow meeting some issues were mentioned about the way appointments show up in Outlook (and Campus).  I wanted to present an option as a way to work around them to add a second calendar in Outlook that will look like the old way.  This calendar can be printed and viewed on phones (though I haven’t tested it on an iPhone [Android all the way!] but I would expect it to work just the same since it is a website). The second calendar will need to be manually updated with appointment information, but I expect some won’t mind to have it list student information exactly as you’d like it. Also, other people will not have access to this calendar, unless you give them permission.

 

This is what your synched calendar currently looks like:

 

 

This is what it could look like with a second calendar:

 

 

To set up:

Right-click on your current calendar from the menu on the left side of your screen and select New Calendar…

 

In the pop-up window, give your new calendar a name and then select OK.

 

You have now set up your new calendar. Be sure that the calendar is checked in the menu on the left for it to show.

 

 

To print the calendar, let the appointment calendar be the only calendar selected from the menu on the left then go  to File and Print as normal.

 

 

I hope this makes sense and that it is helpful for some!  If you have any questions please shoot me an email!

Here’s to a four day work week!
