Office 365 Calendar Resources

With Outlook and the Office 365 Dashboard, you get a powerful calendar to help manage your day.

Your calendar fully integrates with email and contacts. Shared calendars and the Scheduling Assistant will keep you in sync with your team and help you find meeting times that work for everyone.

Refer to the image to access your calendar. From your Office 365 Dashboard, select:

You will see your calendar in week view when you first access your calendar through the Office 365 Dashboard. You can change the default to Day, Work week, or Month by using the options in the upper-right corner.

Please follow the below image for an overview of the Calendar. Click on the numbers for instructions.

A meeting is a calendar event that you send to other people. Please follow the image to learn how to schedule a meeting through your Calendar.

Step 1 Click New to open a new event window and add your attendees.

Step 2 To ensure the attendees and meeting rooms are available at the time you choose, you can use the Scheduling Assistant.

Step 3 As you add attendees to your meeting, their free/busy schedules will appear in the Scheduling Assistant.

On Office 365, you can now view free/busy information for anyone across UHN!

Step 4 You can also add meeting rooms from this window. Type in the name of your meeting room (ex. Conf TGH RFE), select the name and add it to your invite.
