You probably use calendars in Outlook to keep track of meetings and appointments. But, do things sometimes seem like they’re getting away from you? Are scheduling conflicts and missed meetings just a fact of your work life? Here’s some help.
In this session, we will explore the Calendar app completely, covering ways to visualize calendar data and optimize calendar use. You’ll see clever ways for you to set up your calendar to give you visual cues as to where your time is going and how to schedule intelligently to accommodate commuting to appointments, and normally unscheduled items like pre- and post-meeting activities. You’ll also see different ways to work with others to schedule time, including the scheduling assistant and calendar sharing permissions. Discover the “free time trap” that can cause scheduling conflicts and how recurring meetings can be replaced with “repeatable” ones, using Quick Steps.
In the Tasks section, we’ll go beyond just how to create to-do items, but how to actually set up Outlook as a Project Manager. How to collaborate on tasks and the different options for delegating work. Learn the traps of assigning tasks and how to work with other apps like SharePoint and OneNote to make working with others easier. You’ll discover how to turn Outlook from a work creator into a time saver by knowing the right ways to utilize calendar and task functionality.
