Use this page to set the Calendar defaults that apply to everyone at your MSP. It is for MSP administrators. Company users can read and filter the Calendar, but they do not change these settings.

Before you start

  • You need Calendar settings access and permission to manage Calendar settings.
  • These settings apply to your whole MSP, not to one person or company. A viewer’s own filters are separate.
  • The Company meetings, Freeze Windows and Post-Meeting tabs sit beside General Settings and save separately. Company meetings sets up the recurring meetings you hold with your companies.

Turn Show event details on to show the subject and location of other people’s synced Outlook events instead of Busy. Events marked Private in Outlook still show Busy to everyone else. Your own synced events always show their details. The change applies to every synced event, including ones already on the calendar, the next time the calendar loads.
