Category: Outlook SupportIf you’re like me, you want to be more connected on LinkedIn, but during your workday you just can ‘t find the time to stay connected. As much as I adore LinkedIn, I do have a job to do during the day and don’t have time to always be on the site. I discovered a quick way to manage all of my LinkedIn “everything messages” in just one inbox in my Outlook (You don’t need to use Outlook btw).
Not only does this awesome little management tool help me stay on top of my messages, I actually participate a lot more now on LinkedIn than I did before responding to direct messages more often and staying on top of discussions I should be spending time with. And we all know that the more time you put into LinkedIn, the more marketing time you get in, and that brings in the money folks. So these tips should help you as I have found they help me.
On with the tips! See the picture below. I circled some important areas. Also, I have Outlook 2013, your version should be similar.
As a professional, I insist on backing up everything in Outlook before I assist. Safety first kids! As well, there are so many people using 3rd party apps, iCloud, iTunes, and Outlook.com that I’m sure you want those to still work and be default. And if they are not default, I can help configure everything so it just works better.

Call That Girl has a few good solutions for you if you are suffering with old technology. With everyone having many devices such as computers, tablets, iPhones, iPads, Androids, etc….we just want all of our communications, meeting and contacts all to flow and synchronize. Are you tired of having to always delete and catch up with your phone? Missing meetings? Or is iCloud driving you crazy? iTunes not working right?
Your phone is your mobile work life and you use it as much as your computer, but when you go back to your computer, nothing is the same right? These days are now over for you if you have us assist with moving your email, calendar and contacts to hosted exchange or Microsoft Office 365. Let Lisa, the Outlook Specialist assist your team today to having your work life much more managed and efficient.
Other managed IT companies will do the same work, but will also ask for a monthly fee to manage your account. We just invoice for the work done and offer a support ticket to those that want the continued support with us. If you need us to do some IT administration, it just comes off that ticket when you need help.
To get started, email Lisa@callthatgirl.biz or call her directly at 612-865-4475 to get on her calendar for a consultation.
Below are simple instructions on how to share a calendar with other members of your team in Hosted Exchange or Microsoft Office 365.
Start by right clicking on your calendar and go to “Properties”
Then click on “Permissions” tab
Click “Add” and select in the Address Book “Global Address List” for the mailbox you want to share the calendar with and select the members name and click on “Add” at the bottom of the window.
Now you have to determine the level of permission. View guide below for appropriate levels.
Common are “Free/Busy” , “Reviewer” and “Publishing Author”
Found this handy guide from UNC-Chapel Hill Help & Support page
| Permission Level | Definition |
| Owner: | Allows full rights to the mailbox’s (Calendar or Folder) , including assigning permissions; it is recommended not to assign this role to anyone |
| Publishing Editor: | Create, read, edit, and delete all items; create subfolders |
| Editor: | Create, read, edit, and delete all items |
| Publishing Author: | Create and read items; create subfolders; edit and delete items created by the user. |
| Author: | Create and read items; edit and delete items they’ve created. |
| Nonediting Author: | Create and read items; delete items created by the user. |
| Reviewer: | Read items. |
| Contributor: | Create items. |
| Free/Busy time, subject, location: | View the time, subject, and location of the appointment or meeting on your calendar. |
| Free/Busy time: | Shows only as Free or Busy on your calendar. No details are provided. |
| None: | No permissions are set for the selected user on the specified calendar or folder. |
Now the member has permissions
Open Outlook and click on “File” then go to “Open”, and select “Other User’s Folder”
Click on “Name” and select the team member from the global address list. And also select “Folder Type” Calendar. Click OK
You will now see your team members calendar in your list of calendars until “Shared Calendar”. You will also see their calendars in your SmartPhone unless you turn off these settings.
You will now see the other calendar in a side by side mode, you can select “Overlay” mode which gives you just one calendar. You can go to the top of Outlook and select “View” and then “Overlay”
You can also uncheck their calendar box at any time to not view it at all.
