Ways to Publish Schedule Information Using
Outlook 2002
By publishing your schedule, you make it available for those who don't
otherwise have access to your calendar. By encouraging these individuals to
publish their schedules, too, you'll make it easier and more efficient for all
of you to coordinate meeting times.
There are different ways to publish your Microsoft Outlook® schedule. You
can publish just the times when you're free and when you're busy, which others
will see in a meeting request or on a group calendar that includes you, or you
can publish a one-month snapshot of your Calendar that others can view.
 Publish
your free/busy times
You can publish your free and busy times to a shared location on either the
Microsoft Office Internet Free/Busy Service or on another Internet or intranet
location. If you want to limit who can access the information, publish to the
Free/Busy Service. Only other service members that you've specifically
authorized to view your free/busy times can access the information you
publish, providing they are using Outlook 2002. When they schedule a meeting
with you, the busy times that you published to the service automatically
display as shaded bars on the Scheduling tab in their meeting request,
so they know which times you're already booked. Outlook periodically
updates the information on the service automatically so that it reflects your
latest schedule.
Alternatively, you can publish your free/busy information to an intranet,
or to an Internet location other than the service. No authorization or
memberships are required. People access the information just by going to the
address where it is located or, if you have the location specified in your
Outlook free/busy settings, in a meeting request or on a group calendar.
Regardless of the method you choose for publishing your schedule, no
details about your other meetings or appointments are displayed.
Save
an Outlook Calendar as a Web page
Instead of publishing just your free and busy times, you can publish to a
Web page a one-month snapshot of your Calendar with the times you
already booked and, if you want, details about your meetings or other
appointments. People can view this information to help them schedule meetings
with you, but they can't enter information into the page. In addition, the Web
page does not automatically update as you add, remove, or revise appointments
in your Calendar, so you need to save your Calendar each time
you want to update the Web version.
