Scheduling resources or people

[mweiblen]

I am looking for a simple way to assign people to a project and displa
the project on a calendar with their names as assigned.

Also I would like to be able to display the calendar with the peopl
listed and what projects they are assigned to on the calendar. So
different views, 1 by project and 1 by person, for the same informatio
and only enter the information once.

This may not be possible in Outlook Calendar but I would appreciate an
other suggestions

I am looking for a simple way to assign people to a project and display
the project on a calendar with their names as assigned.

Also I would like to be able to display the calendar with the people
listed and what projects they are assigned to on the calendar. So 2
different views, 1 by project and 1 by person, for the same information
and only enter the information once.

I'd create a category for each project and assign those category to the
calendar events. I'd then create a view for each category to I could display
the calendar for each by changing the view. While I can't think of a way to
show people on the calendar, I'd create similar views for my contacts. I
would open both calendar and contacts windows and switch to the same view in
each window. That would give me side-by-side project-oriented summaries.

You can't assign categories to calendars, you assign them to items in the
calendar. I assumed (perhaps a mistake) that you had entries in the calendar
that showed the project events like milestone due dates. Assign the category
to the events.
