MS Bookings - How To Open Another Bookings Calendar

Issue/Question

• How do I open a different Bookings Calendar than my own, that I am also a Staff on?
• How do I access someone else's Bookings Calendar that I'm on?

Environment

• Oregon State University
• OSU Employee
• MS Bookings

Cause/Explanation

OSU Employees who have access to Bookings may have their own individual calendar, and also be on a group calendar for their department.

Administrative assistants and/or supervisors may be on their staff's Bookings calendar's as back-up in case appointments need to be cancelled on their behalf or edits need to be made for them.

These situations would require someone to be able to open another Bookings Calendar.
