(In some versions, clicking “Search” will open a new directory search window. If that occurs – simply continue with the

Once the full list is visible – simply click the SHARED CALENDAR you are looking for.
In this case – we are adding the CAL-MF AC EVENTS – which is the calendar where the approval process of flight related
events can be found.
Once selected – click “Open”
Once opened – there are a few things to notice. Under the “My Calendars” you will see the SHARED CALENDARS you
just opened. Notice the highlighted colors will match the corresponding calendar items. Once you have multiple
calendars opened – you can turn their items on or off from your calendar view by checking or unchecking the box to the
left of each calendar name.
Here – we have opened multiple calendars, and each one has a (random) highlighted color that corresponds to the
calendar it is associated with. Notice that CAL-MF AC EVENTS are highlighted in green and CAL-MF NON-AC EVENTS are
highlighted in a salmon color. These colors are random and are NOT always the same each time.
If you are using an installed copy of Outlook – the steps are similar. Go to your calendar.
RIGHT CLICK “My Calendars” then Add Calendar then Open Shared Calendar.
This window will pop up – click “Name”
Sometimes when you open multiple calendars – the default view changes to a “Schedule View”. To correct – click
“Month” in the top menu .
This search window will pop up. Simply type CAL and click “Go” (or press Enter). The list of matches will be displayed.
Click the SHARED CALENDAR you are looking for, the click OK.
Note – the SHARED Calendar will need to download the calendar items – so please be patient.
