outlook calendar and sharing

Marsha Drenth
开云体育If an individual uses a outlook calendar but then someone shares their calendar with them. How does one view their own calendar, with the new persons calendar layered on top? Or what if your looking at multiple calendars all at the same time. Or does one have to view one calendar and then another persons one at a time? This would make it hard to figure out what dates and times would work for a group. I know that other applications can be used for that, but I am also thinking about ease. ? Thank you, ? ?

开云体育Marsha, I’m new at this too, but I just had some training on the calendar. The key f6 cycles between the tree view of all the calendars you can check and uncheck to show individually, the navigation bar, the ribbon, the status bar, and each individual calendar you are viewing. So my understanding is that if you cycle through with f6 and read the titles, you’ll know where you are and won’t have to look at multiple calendars simultaneously. Rebecca Kragnes ?

开云体育In addition you can also press control-tab to move to the next calendar that is being shared and shift-control-tab to move to the previous calendar. Depending on your perspective this may or may not be easier than
pressing f6 or shift-f6. When you're viewing someone else's calendar you might not see the name or title of their appointment but you will see when they do have appointments and your screen reader will hopefully identify whether they are listed as busy or tentative. I know this is my experience when I browse calendars that are shared by managers on my team. The inability to see the titles of appointments makes sense as a VP might want people who are sharing his calendar to know that he is busy but not necessarily who he's meeting with or what the meeting is about.

When I open somebody else’s Calendar and navigate between My Calendar and that one, every time I do something like change days in the other calendar I find myself back in my calendar. ?

开云体育Scheduling assistant displays a chart of available times for meeting attendees, so as the organizer, you can select a time that works best for the schedules of everyone in the group.? I have not figured out how to make it work with a screen reader, since it is visual. Any suggestions from this group would be much appreciated. ? Matt ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]>

开云体育Hi Susan.I highly recommend using the scheduling assistant facility within Outlook. For me at least, I don't care what is on my colleague's calendars, only whether they are available or not. So I no longer need to worry about missing with the calendars themselves. If you also use iOS, and you add all of the people prior to setting the time, the iOS app will tell you how many people are available at that given time automatically.

开云体育Hi, ? If you’re using JAWS, when you’re on the scheduler & focus is on any of the editable fields: ? 1)????? Press Alt + JAWS key + W to virtualise the window 2)????? Read through the virtualised page until you here ‘Suggested times’ 3)????? Then you should ?find more details about availability of attendees on the selected date ? Unfortunately you have to keep changing the date to view availability on other days, as ?JAWS only seems to read the availability for the day. HTH. ? Regards, LU ? ?

开云体育I am almost certain that I have used the scheduling assistant with JAWS without the need to virtualize the window. It's been a few weeks since I've attempted this and most of the time my scheduling of meeting is with Teams and I can tell you that the scheduling assistant within Teams does work, once you get used to its interface. However, this is only used when scheduling Teams meetings with others which I've needed to do.David Goldfield, Blindness Assistive Technology Specialist JAWS Certified, 2019 On 10/2/2020 9:11 AM, Marsha Drenth
