Shouldn't calendars in SharePoint be collaborative too?

The SharePoint Team Calendar Web Part provides a centralized group calendar that can interact with a SharePoint calendar list, multiple Microsoft Exchange calendars, or do both side-by-side. Users can add and edit items in a SharePoint list directly from the Team Calendar, or they can create and update Exchange meetings and appointments through an Outlook style resource scheduling assistant. The Team Calendar can even display events for multiple Exchange accounts in a single calendar, complete with customizable color coding for different calendars and event types.

Overlay the Outlook calendars of multiple users

With Team Calendar, you can display multiple calendars from different users on a single calendar in SharePoint; simply add users to the display list, and watch as their public events populate the calendar. Color code by user and status (busy, out of office, etc.) and get a hold on everyone's whereabouts in seconds, from a central location.

Create new meetings and events

Creating team meetings and appointments from Team Calendar is easy with the Web Part's built in tools -- simply create your event, lookup different invitees from the same Global Address List you use in Exchange, and even attach files. Best of all, everyone's schedule is right in front of you, both on the calendar, and in the Outlook-style scheduling assistant.

NEW Release 1.2 makes navigation easier than ever

Team Calendar's latest release, version 1.2, adds a host of improvements, from a built-in mini-calendar, to run-time status filtering, to a side-by-side view that makes it a snap to compare different schedules at a glance.

What does it do?

• Displays calendar information (appointments, meetings, etc.) from an Exchange account in a SharePoint Web Part.
• View a SharePoint List-based calendar, Exchange calendar, or both side by side.
• Display multiple Exchange calendars from different users in a single Web Part.
• Break out individual calendars into separate columns (new!).
  
  

How can it work for me?

• Use a SharePoint task list and a single Exchange account to create a central scheduling site for a team or group.
• Add additional Exchange accounts to show important calendars for other teams or groups.
• Provide users with access to Outlook-style scheduling functionality from within your SharePoint portal.
• Allow your group to include non-SharePoint, Outlook-only users in your scheduling activities by utilizing Exchange from the comfort of SharePoint.
