Multiple Calendars

P

Is it possible with the current version of Entourage to see multiple
calendars?

No. Why do you need multiple calendars? Because iCal does it? So what?

Use categories, then use the popup filter in the Calendar for "Category
is...".

This is with Office 04 for a customer who uses this feature with his
exchange server on their PC's and wants to know if he can do the same
with a Mac clients.

Thanks

Ah. No, Entourage does not do multiple calendars at the moment. It does
filter by category so he can approximate the same thing with some effort.

In order to apply categories to existing events. go to the All Events custom
view in the Calendar area. You can sort by any column, command-click to
select carious events at once (or even shift-click top and bottom of a group
of items to select all items in between them), then apply a category to all
selected items.

Naturally this won't synchronize with what's going on over in Outlook, and
categories don't sync either, but it's a way of getting a similar function
in Entourage. You can only wok on your own single calendar, of course.

No, because it makes sense. If I want to publish my work events to the web,
for example, I don't need my co-workers seeing when I need to pick up the
laundry. With one calendar, its all-or-nothing. Entourage needs mulitple
calendars, or some mechanism to allow for similar functionality.

But Entourage doesn't "publish to web". Or do you mean that "Save as Web
Page" won't do separate categories? That's certainly a limitation. You can
_view_ just one category at a time by by changing the popup at top right
from "Name contains" to "Category is" and in the second popup choose a
category. But if you then choose "Save as Web Page" it includes all events
of all categories. Submit a feature request, via Help/Send Feedback, to
allow Save as Web Page to save the current view, namely one category only.
That would be a good feature request.

I need this kind of functionality. I don't want all of my clients to see all
of my schedules with details. I want client A to have their own calendar
page that only has client A appointments and events on it.
