Google Calendar has powerful tools that enable you to better manage your schedule and make it easier to connect with others.

Free/Busy Calendar Sharing Settings

All calendars at ³ÉÈËӰƬ University are set so that others can see if you are free or busy by default unless you had previously changed your default settings.

  • Go to your settings by selecting the gear icon.
  • Scroll to “Settings for my calendar” in the left menu and select your calendar.
  • Within the access permissions section, check the box “Make available for ³ÉÈËӰƬ University.”
    • In the dropdown menu, select “See only free/busy (hide details).
    • To disable this setting, uncheck the box “Make available for ³ÉÈËӰƬ University.”
  • Navigate to “Working Hours” (in the general section), and specify your working hours so meetings can only be scheduled with you while you are working.
  • Add all guests to the meeting: Click the person icon next to the guest’s name to mark a guest as optional. If you don’t see the icon, hover over the guest’s name.
  • Select the “find a time” or “see guest availability.” You’ll now be able to see when guests are free/busy, and schedule a meeting that’s convenient for everyone.

Appointment Slots

Ever thought about incorporating “office hours” so other people at ³ÉÈËӰƬ can book time with you? Google’s appointment slots allow you to designate specific times of day on your calendar to make yourself available for meetings.

  • Clicking anywhere in your calendar view to create an event. When the event options appear, click “Appointment slots,” as shown below at the very top of the window.
  • Set the date(s) and time(s) you’d like to open up for appointments, as well as how long each appointment should be by default next to “Slots with duration.”
  • By selecting “More Options” you’ll be able to:
    • Set up recurring appointment slots
    • Share the link with those whom you’re willing to arrange appointments by selecting “This calendar’s appointment page.”
  • Click the link for the appointments page that has been shared with you. You can find the link in an email, message, or calendar event that’s been shared with you.
  • Select an available appointment slot and click Save.
  • To cancel an appointment, open it in your calendar, and choose “no” under “Going?”
