So much to remember . . .

Did you know that you can create specific calendars in Outlook that are separate from your Outlook calendar and then can look at together (as overlay) or separately (click on the down arrow next to Open Calendar and create “new Blank Calendar”.

You can also create a calendar in the Microsoft App Planner and export that to Outlook.

Another neat tool you can add to your Outlook 365 is Find Time works like doodle poll but better and right within Outlook, try it out!

Those using Canvas and the rest of you who will use Canvas can export that calendar as well

Need assistance, want to see how it works, contact OET and share a calendar!

 

Not quite 365 but

There are a lot of apps available with your Office 365 subscription.  Yes outlook groups are no longer functional but Teams are a handy way to collaborate not only with colleagues but students as well.  I have had a recent dialog about sharing calendar and have been reviewing the Planner App.  “With Planner, team members can create plans with assigned tasks, and then add automation such as setting due dates that send out reminders and notifications, updating the status of the project and individual tasks, easily sharing and collaborating on files.”

Here is a link to a plan I created if you want to see how it works.   Some options given is to view in Teams, add to Outlook calendar, share files, see progress charts, create “buckets” of items.

Migration has occurred

So now what, you have mailbox space of 100Gb so no more mailbox cleanup messages!  But sometimes too much is too good, how best to organize?  Here are some tips from Microsoft  

This is a helpful one:

Conversation Clean Up is most useful on Conversations with many responses back and forth, especially with many recipients.

Remove redundant messages

On the Home tab, in the Delete group, click Clean Up.
Click one of the following:

Clean Up Conversation    The current Conversation is reviewed, and redundant messages are deleted.

Clean Up Folder    All Conversations in the selected folder are reviewed, and redundant messages are deleted.

Clean Up Folder & Subfolders    All Conversations in the selected folder and any folder that it contains are reviewed, and redundant messages are deleted.
