Calendaring Tool

[sher1]

I am looking for any recommendations anyone might have.  I am needing software I believe of some sort that will have the ability to consolidate annual events/meetings, periodic work schedules of units, peak times of units and whom it affects, be web friendly and have the ability to "read only" and with specified users "edit".  Does anyone know of anything that might work?  I am networked so will need to put it on a server and have it accessible to everyone's computers at different locations around the City.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sher1,



Hello and it's nice to see you.   I believe that Microsoft's Outlook will fit those needs.  With outlook, you can set up an office calendar as well as individual calendars with read only access.  



Hope that helps.

Sheri - Welcome.  It is nice to have you join TAA.  



I can't really help you, but wanted to Welcome you.



Chambers of Commerce usually keep community calendars, perhaps someone at your local chamber can help.

Hi, Sheri! I'm going to throw in a negative here. I've got yet another temp job and I was really looking forward to getting to know Lotus Notes probably. My mistake! It can't do several useful things, like printing out e-mails and their attachments by selecting them in the In box and right-clicking. A straw poll of engineery types who've used its database capacities show that they don't think much of it.

I want my Outlook back!

Sher1, as I was trying to put the finishing touches on the long awaited reopening of the reources page, I came across these web based programs that might interest you since if appears you need more Project management than Outlook offers. I think you're really looking for Groupware, which is a bit different from Outlook, though if you want to get REALLY complicated Pacific Edge now offers a suite that integrates, outlook, Project manager and Crystal reports into one easy to use suite (Easy to use being relative, let's face if if you have to SCHEDULE the demo with them and it's an hour long ...well you draw the obvious conclusions, however it IS power packed if you're looking for an expensive software baubble to add to your collection.

 Or try this one:



www.appsonline.com/quickplace_intro.html my personal pick and don't let the fact that it's LOTUS scare you, it's got an easy to use webbased interface and cool stuff like a library for your documents, of course calandering and lots of other features.  Not sure about the cost per user, but Im sure you can get that information easily.

and less conprehensive options include:



  www.webware.com/b/dp/1-10...61-1002079



www.webware.com/b/dp/1-10...61-1002006



And Last but not least here's the link for the page at CNET with the most current offerings, and you may want to back up a bit and check out the category GROUPWARE, too, if you find that these don't meet your needs www.webware.com/b/li/1-10...-1009-1261





OR just for fun, take a look at www.Intranets.com, because it sounds to me like that's what you're REALLY doing here designing a corporate intranet, this is a good place to start until you get your feet wet, and get with IT to design your own

Happy researching!
