CALENDAR AND SCHEDULING


Managing someone else's Calendar
Notes lets you manage another user's Calendar, without the user your having to give you full access to his or her Mail file. Calendar management is set up in the person's Calendar you are managing (the owner's Calendar) as well as in your Calendar (the manager's Calendar). Once it is set up, you as the Calendar manager can schedule meetings for the Calendar owner and receive notification of all of the meeting notices the owner receives.
