I will be doing most of the creation through scripting. when a new employee is hired and added to a specific department, all the other members of that department will be automaticly mounted as
/Coworkers/<Coworker Name>
likewise, this new person's calendar will automaticly be mounted into all the existing employee's calendars. i'm not too concerned about people needing to do this on thier own.
This thread was created mostly for just figuring out if I was doing it the way that was going to cause the least amount of problems. As I said, my first attempt at mounting one shared calendar as a child of another shared calendar blew up in my face so I wanted to see if anyone else had gone my 2nd route and encountered problems.
Rich Graves is right, rarely will people want all of the people in their department to be actively displayed all the time, but i'm sure a secretary will ask me how she can always have her boss' appointments overlayed onto hers and not have to select it every time
This might be a dead end anyway. As we're pretty unsure if we'll be able to pry outlook away from the deathgrip a lot of users have on it, we're going to have to design things to work in outlook as well. I just checked, and shared calendars mounted under a personal calendar do not show up at all in outlook.  |
