Do you really want to show everything? Try our consolidated, auto-formatted, Outlook® group schedules!
Sharing your Outlook calendar with Exchange Server used to be a matter of all or nothing. You give access to your calendar or you don't. When others have access they can see your calendar, all of it!. Exchange GroupCalendar however allows for sophisticated rules and formatting so you can share what others need to know from you and keep to yourself what they don't need to know. Share a selection, automatically, based on predefined business rules. And that's just a small part of the functionality!


Do you:

- need calendar overview ?
  of a selected group or groups of people.
- want to hide private/confidential info ?
 
or any other non business related information.
- want to end the delegate permissions problems ?
  users should not be bothered with that.
- need an easy method to create appointments ?
  for one other user or for 2.. 5.. 20 users at once.
- want to install nothing but a server add-on ?

You can have one calendar in MS Outlook® where you find the info you need instantly and be able to add to or change(*) that info.  (*) If the administrator allows you to.

Are you now opening the calendars of 10 colleagues to see what they have scheduled? You need just one consolidated overview.

Exchange GroupCalendar is the solution. Fully automatic in real time!  
 

 

User interface; Your regular MS Outlook®. (any version) and/or the wonderful GridView tool.

From personal calendar to Public folder calendar.
You can have a large number of public Group Calendars and users can be a member of one to all of them.

Every group calendar can have its own set of rules. The rules will decide if the item that a member created in his/her personal calendar will be visible at all in that group calendar. The rules also govern the item formatting.

Color of the item, privacy aspects, categories and words in the subject or body.. everything is configurable.
User permissions can be set in MS Outlook® or Exchange system manager on the public folder. Nothing is needed on the workstation but MS Outlook® (or owa/pda/entourage). No configuration or installation on the client pc needed.

From Public folder calendar to personal calendar!
Use MS Outlook® to create new items for all or selected members in the GroupCalendar public folder.

Have those centrally created items
replicate into the personal calendars of the group members instantly.

Or use the
GridView tool for better overview and easy scheduling of items for other users without the need to set delegate permissions everywhere.

First, I would like to say that your application is, by far, the best exchange app that I have come across for dealing with calendars. Microsoft may have bought my house, but I truly hate the way they put things together and your app is helping me in areas that MS has dropped the ball.

 


"If you like the functionality of your personal calendar but would like to combine some calendars into one then this product if for you.Just set it and forget it. This product combines all the calendars that  you select into a single group calendar. It appends the users default alias to the front of the item or you can use an alias you define if needed. This new group calendar behaves the same way you personal calendar  does. So basically what ever view you like now you will have in the group calendar.
Our staff travels around the country so my boss loves that he can print out the group calendar in a month view, a few months at a time, and can scribble notes and proposed schedule changes before project meetings. He can also see very easily where personnel are and what projects are being worked on in a clear manner. The program itself is very small,  non intrusive and it runs as a service. Even though the company is located in the Netherlands, they where easy to contact via email and phone and quick to respond. They called me back the next morning." (Source: download.com)

 

Why Exchange GroupCalendar ?
The program is none intrusive, doesn't require another server  - as many other group calendar softwares require a SQL server, and it's very small.  You don't even have to back-up the group calendars because exporting will refill newly created calendars in minutes!

The free
Grid View tool for those who prefer a horizontally oriented schedule or need to
edit/add items in the calendar of other users like:

  • Office managers, secretaries.

  • Project team managers

  • Reception
    (as an in/out- board on a large
    display or using a projector)

 

The optional (free) Grid View tool for great overview and scheduling options.

 

Installing the fully functional 30 days trial version onto your Exchange Server is a zero risk operation. It will not add or replace system components and will not impact the service pack level or post-fix updates  performed in the past. The setup will only create a new folder and place two files on the server but Exchange Server does the work...as it was designed to do!

Exchange GroupCalendar works without an external (sql) database or other external technology.  It's a purely Exchange server based tool using its full potential without installing potentially damaging dll's or replacing any system components.

".. the product works great – simple to use and we got everybody FINALLY making use of their calendars.  
I’ve recommended it to a bunch of friends.."

We needed something to be able to combine multiple calendars in a single view to be accessible from public folders. This in combination with a SharePoint Team Services allowing the ability to pull in calendar views from our public folders did exactly what we needed it to do for our client. Now we are able to easily administer individual calendars with the group calendar self populating in real-time. This group calendar is now accessed by our client through SharePoint.
