Oracle Calendar

Oracle Calendar is a scheduling and calendar tool that is used to facilitate the scheduling of people into meetings, appointments and other activities. Oracle Calendar can be used to maintain your personal calendar, or someone else's calendar, with the assigning of "designate" permissions. Meetings can be booked with anyone on campus who is using Oracle Calendar. Resources (i.e. meeting rooms) can also be booked through Oracle Calendar. It can book recurring meetings, group meetings, and remind you of upcoming events.

Resource agendas (meeting rooms, laptops etc.) can also be created and maintained.  

Oracle Calendar can be used entirely through a web-browser, or through a desktop client (available through Ida).
