Shared Calendar or Resource
Shared calendars can be used for group calendaring as well as to manage conference room calendars.
Examples:
- Project Management: Shared calendars can be used to track project deadlines and milestones. By adding these important dates to a shared calendar, everyone involved in the project can stay updated on its progress.
- Resource Booking: Shared calendars can also be used to manage shared resources, such as conference rooms or equipment. By booking these resources on the shared calendar, everyone can see when they are in use and plan accordingly.
