We are using share point 3.0 to manage some of our fire departments administrational needs.
Here is the issue we are having:
Everything is put onto the "Main Calendar" including approved vacation dates. We are now trying to make a new calendar that our employees would list their availability for overtime days onto (ie Mike 04/01/14 Available for OT) and give our employees the permission to post to that "New" calendar and not edit the old one.
However the issue is that we want to import all calendar event on the "Main Calendar" that have an attribute checked called "Vacation" so that the scheduler can see posted vacation days and OT available postings on the same page. I don't see any option anywhere about sharing information from one calendar to another.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this?
Another work around possibility that I have thought of but failed to accomplish is to have a specific "add event" page for people posting their available ot dates that only allows them to check the box labeled "Available" and I'll have the two different calendar views filter appropriately. Our problem now is when a user that isn't very computer literate goes to add "OT Available Days" as a new calendar event, if he or she fails to check the Available box it is then displayed on the "Main Calendar" view and makes it overly crowded.
Open to any suggestions and thank you in advance.
