Departmental Calendars

A department can request two types of calendars: a resource calendar in Exchange and a departmental calendar in SharePoint.

Resource Calendar

A resource calendar is a room scheduling calendar. Departments can use this to manage their internal conference rooms. The calendars are created in Exchange and can be accessed through Outlook. To request a resource calendar a ticket may be placed with the help desk. When placing the request, please specify the name of the department and room and who the primary owner will be. Help desk tickets may be placed here: http://helpdesk.fau.edu

SharePoint Calendar

This is the best option for a department who only needs access to a calendar (no email or room calendars needed). The SharePoint calendar can be accessed directly from SharePoint or through Outlook.  To request a SharePoint calendar a ticket may be placed with the help desk to have a new site provisioned. When placing the request, please specify the name of the department or group and who the primary owner will be. Help desk tickets may be placed here: http://helpdesk.fau.edu.
