Opening a Shared Calendar in Outlook 2010


This tutorial will teach you how to open another user's calendar. If you have been assigned as a delegate and given permission to view details, these will appear.  Otherwise, the default free/busy information will be available.

 

  1. Ensure that Calendar is selected in the Navigation Pane
    • From the Home tab of your calendar, in the Manage Calendars grouping select Open Calendar.
    • Select Open Shared Calendar from the dropdown menu

  2. The Open a Shared Calendar dialogue will appear
    • Enter the name of the person who has shared their calendar with you, or click the Name... button to add them from the GAL (Global Address List).
    • Click OK

  3. The calendar screen will open
    • You now have your calendar displayed and the calendar of the person who has granted you delegate status displayed beside it
    • On the Navigation Pane you now have a Shared Calendars group with the delegated calendar
    • You can close the shared calendar either by unchecking the calendar in the Navigation menu or clicking the X beside the Calendar name. 
    • When you close Outlook, the shared calendars will be saved for the next time.
    • To delete the calendar from your Navigation menu, right mouse click on the shared calendar in the navigation menu and from the flyout menu select Delete Calendar

    NOTE: You can follow the exact same steps for anyone in the GAL (not just those you have been assigned as a delegate for). Only their default free/busy times will appear if they have not specified otherwise
