CATEGORIES/AUTOMATIC FORMATTING IN SHARED CALENDAR

[Tree]

I can either use a category or automatic formatting but I want the
appointments to be appropriately color coded based on the conditions I set in
the Shared Calendar I've created.
The colors show up in on my computer in the shared calendar, but not in
anyone else's..
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Version of outlook? Colors in color categories are per-user, automatic
formatting in views needs to be for views available to everyone.

Create a custom view and select the option 'this folder, for everyone' -
click modify and add automatic formatting rules. If you have the view
already made, copy it and make it for 'this folder, everyone'.
You do this through the define views dialog - see
http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/viewmenu.htm if you need help finding
it.

I did create the view but it is not showing up as an option on any other
calendar.. how do I get it to show up as a view option? I am obviously not
following the directions all the way but I did everything per your last
reply???????????
Can I get a step by step??

Hi there,

I'm having the same issue and tried as well to create a specific view.
i think the view is working for me but i'm wondering if my colleague needs
to reinstall the calendar as she can't find either the view i've just
created.

Any idea ? Tips ?

many thanks in advance for your help
Best regards

Nathalie

I'm in the same situation. I am using Automatic Formatting but I can't seem
to get mine to work either. I see the formatting but when anyone else looks
at it on their machine, they don't see it.

I did look at the article that was posted earlier but can't seem to follow
what I need to do.

Thanks,
Christine
