best way to display calendar

[bazookaman]

we are putting together a marketing calendar and i was wondering what the best app/site/format was. We roughed it out in excel but clearly that isn't the best place for it. It needs to be accessed (and edited at some level) by management.

You could have the calendar in an iCloud account and everyone could subscribe to it. Could be edited from the iCloud website easily enough.

What do you use for email and meetings management ? Usually that's the best place to put an 'event calendar'.

Everyone is all Outlook.

we use outlook for our conference room reservations.
there is a profile for each conference room (by name)
which a user can invite as a resource.

when creating the meeting, a user can see if that profile has
an existing meeting already booked at it. If you hover your mouse
around the booked time, it will tell you generally what the meeting is.

the meeting room is booked if open when the meeting is sent out.

1) Perhaps you can create a generic Marketing profile
which any user (or select users) can create meetings for. (be it a Marketing login account or a separate profile only for outlook)
2) the meetings turn into "events" for those in the know.
3) everyone can see the events who has permissions (if this is possible, liked a shared calendar)
4) The alternative if you cannot open permissions to all required users is to log out of your account and log back in as the Marketing profile
only when you want to edit or create an event. Its messier this way but
doable. I am speaking of windows ecosystem, but the concept is the same for a Mac environment.

Not sure if this would work, its just an idea based on what we
do here at my work.

Good luck!

did a help in Outlook:
how to share calendars in outlook


also this was in help:

Open another person's Calendar, Contacts, or Tasks
Show All
This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange account. Most home and personal accounts do not use Exchange.

You can quickly view another person's calendar, contacts, and tasks from the Navigation Pane. After the first time you access another person's folder, the shared folder is added to the Navigation Pane. The next time you want to view the other person's folder, you can select it in the Navigation Pane.

Open another person's calendar
You can view up to 30 calendars side-by-side in Calendar.
1.In Calendar, click Open a Shared Calendar.
2.To select another person's name from the address book, click Name or type the name in the Name box.
3.The new calendar will appear to the side of any calendar already in the view.

Note Custom view settings on your calendar may not display correctly if you use the side-by-side calendars feature. To ensure that your custom view settings are displayed, right-click any calendar in the list, and then click Open on the shortcut menu. The calendar will open and close any other open calendars. The view settings for the selected calendar will be in effect and for any additional calendars subsequently viewed in the side-by-side view.

Notes
•You can only open the default Outlook folders for each item type. For example, if a person has created an additional calendar, you can only open the default calendar.
•To remove a name from the Other Calendars, Other Contacts, or Other Tasks lists, right-click the name, and then click Remove from Other (Calendars, Contacts, or Tasks).
•If you open another person's calendar, contacts, or tasks by clicking Other User's Folder (File menu, Open command), the person's name will be added to the Other Calendars, Other Contacts, or Other Tasks lists.
•The ability to see another person's items, and whether or not you can change them, is controlled by the owner of the items.
•You can use this same procedure to access shared Journal or Notes folders.

Publishing full calendar information

One limitation of using the Internet Free/Busy service is that you cannot see the full details of an individual's appointment, nor can you effectively see more than two weeks of free/busy time at a glance within the meeting request. Outlook has a nifty feature that can create a Web page for you automatically which contains a full calendar view for the dates you specify, along with the full appointment details.

To publish your calendar, click Save as Web Page on the File menu while in your Calendar view. In the dialog box, you can specify the date range and a background graphic, amongst other things. After you choose a file location, your Calendar Web page is good to go! Just publish it to your ISP's Web server or a shared location on your network, and your schedule is readily available for viewing by anyone with access. However, this information is read-only to others and does not get automatically updated when your appointments change. You'll need to republish your calendar periodically whenever you make modifications.

Note Publishing your calendar requires that you have the Web Publishing Wizard installed. You can download the wizard from the Microsoft Download Center.
