I have been trying to get access to the 7+calendar from the blog - and found that giving all of us access to the calendar is miles easier.
So, Bron, Niki, Karen - I am giving you access to the calendar to make changes to events. Let's see what glitches we run into before we go any further. As usual - this is all experimental. Please comment below - I think one of the uses of a blog is that clarifications and discussions are visible. And again - this is a slow development - no hurry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Here is the background.
1. The calendar for 7+ is working effectively
2. We can give four levels of access directly to the calendar:
- see only free/busy
- see event details
- make changes to events
- make changes to events and manage sharing
I suggest we leave the fourth item to 7+ and anyone who wants to be an "administrator" - 7+ gave me as Elaine that permission temporarily .
I suggest that Niki, Karen, Bron, Kevin, Russ, and anyone else who takes on responsibility for enabling events be invited to "make changes to events"
And that everyone else in the N4W networks who wants it is offered access to "see event details".
What do you reckon?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes and what's next ..
(1) Clearly developments like this need to go along with the idea of a buddy system for those who do not want to bother with calendars - we would still send out notices - but buddies would be able to look things up for their non-techie mates.
(2) I have learnt a bit about calendars through this exercise - and am keen to share knowledge through 1-1 conversations - you probably know more than I did.
(3) More invitations
And - Kevin, Russ and anyone else - you are welcome to request the right to change events whenever you like!
Velda - I have sent you an invitation to see event details - June, Devon - I'll send the same to you as soon as you ask.

Hey, this is good - I can now post a comment!
ReplyDeleteElaine, how do we get to the 7+ calendar? Can you add a link to it?
Does anyone know how to add a Gmail email to a Google calendar? In Microsoft Outlook it is an easy drag-and-drop process but I've not yet found the Google equivalent.
Note that I am logged in as myself (Karen) but this comment has me as Anonymous.
DeleteMassive thanks, Karen - I will investigate the anonymous (I was that for a while and I have forgotten how I sorted it - I got the HEM (elaine because I had an option - and so I made up a name - BUT it should be possible that your name just appears - I will sort it someday soon).
DeleteI think Dr Google deleted my reply and gave me instructions above
