Les Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Works great but I want to send date sheets out to the bands agents on a regular basis and I can't seem to figure out how to. All it needs is to indicate is a date that's not available, ideally highlighting weekends, they don't need any other info ie where we booked or anything just a clear indication that the date is unavailable. Any one any ideas ? Also using a different online calendar is out of the question as I'd prefer to staple my scrotum to the table, sell my basses and retire rather than go through teaching band members who can't be trusted to sit the correct way on the toilet how to use another system. ta Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howdenspur Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Think you can create a new calendar under other calendars on the side bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Can you create a 2nd Google Calendar and invite your agents to it as guests, so they can view only it and not your 'main' calendar? That way, you could customise what details they see. Would obviously require updating two calendars each time a date came in instead of one, but the extra 20 or so seconds each time would soon become second nature.

We once had a manager/agent who could only manage dates with an Excel spreadsheet. Even though we gave him access to our Google calendar, he still insisted I maintain an Excel version for him to work from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Yea could do I suppose but already running 3 bands with separate calendars so that’s yet another one to do. Not sure I can do what I want thinking about it. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toriaacres Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Have you tried using the "Events" feature on Google Calendar and setting the event as "busy" for the dates that are unavailable for the band? You can also check out this website with a simple-to-use September calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Isn't this what the visibility attribute is for? Within a calendar, if you click on an event and mark it as private then I think only invitees can see the meeting details but everyone else can see that there is an event. That's certainly how Outlook works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
