Mary Ann – The Master Calendar is not pulling from anywhere… that’s the point of the screencast. The Master Calendar holds all of the events for all workspaces, in your example.

When a calendar is displayed in a workspace, it’s a fake. The calendar displayed is really the Master Calendar with a customized view just for that workspace.

Here’s the info on the workshop:

I just viewed the second link that you gave and it covers what I have done for each of my sites. I added a display view (by key wording the description box in each of the events I added). But my problem is still the workspace for each of the views. I am under the impression that we can only do a one to one relationship, right? Master Calendar can only pull from one workspace? I need the master calendar to pull from different workspaces that are associated to the meetings in each site.

I am interested in the hands-on workshop. What time next Tuesday will it be on and what are the steps to get linked to it.

I will go off and review the first link you gave me.

Thanks for the quick response.

Mary Ann – You’ve come to the party just in time! I have just completed a series on master calendars with subcalendar access. You can view the series here:

There is a hands-on, online workshop next Tuesday if you are interested:

I have had similar questions about Master Calendars. I understand Creating 1 calendar with all events. Then just create a different display. If you want a calendar display that is also possible (just keyword the events then create the view specific for that key word). you can see the calendar instead of the list. But has anyone looked into being able to do this and keep individual workspaces for each view? I am stuck. I have 11 sites now and it’s growing (that want a view / workspace for their particular area) – but then I have another high level group that would like to see all merged events merged into one Master Calendar.

Was onboard with Kristine W’s solution until she went to SPD. Since I don’t have it (am not trained in yet) is there another way of displaying this solution without rearranging code?

Simply alter the permissions for the calendar so you can whoever you wish. Then take the web address of the calendar you wish to view and create a link on the quick lauch index using the web address hey presto anyone can view that calendar. You can then customise the view so that different elements can be seen depending on security.

Hey Kristine, can you possibly email me the screenshots at [email protected]?

Thanks,

Kevin,

I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to. You would just need to connect to the data sources and add the items you want as multiple items.

I emailed you some screen shots…my phone number is on the bottom if you need to chat about it with me. I’ll be more than happy to help you!

Hey Kristine, could you send me the screenshots by using my email from my website (bottom left), just click on my name from this post. Could I use your method to aggregate different calendar into on Data View?

My calendars show on the site. They may not be in not the “traditional OOTB calendar view” but you still get the Title of the Event, the Dates to and from along with any other information from the “master” calendar you choose when setting up the data view.

I’ll post screen shots to Mark so he can post it if you would like to see them.
