1. If you want to view your calendar without having to login each time, you can do so by following these steps:
a. go to the web client and login
b. go to Preferences and under the Security tab, check the box for a Global Agenda
c. click Ok or Update or whatever
d. your screen should now have link on the right-hand side that says Email Agenda
e. click on that and send the agenda to yourself
f. open your mail, click on the link and then bookmark the link
Note1: You can apparently do this same thing with someone else's agenda too, although how much detail you can view will depend on their settings.
Note2: anything you have set to a default of public will show as if you were logged in. All other entries will just show "Busy" and the time.
2. Say you've decided you like to be able to view your schedule as above. You notice that all of what you *think* are your desk times show only "Busy" and the shift hours. In that case, you can change the entry to show the details:
a. login to one of the clients (I like the web better for this)
b. view the MC UL BRS-GPL Reference calendar
c. double-click on your desk shift
d. Change the Access dropdown from normal to public
3. Watch out for the desktop client and its permissions. I have everything set to Public on my office computer, whether the web client or the desktop. So I was confused that some of my ALA entries didn't show any details from the agenda link described above. Turns out that when you set permissions for the desktop client, you are setting them for that particular installation of the software and NOT for you personally. So, when I added a couple of meetings from the reference desk computer they weren't marked as public. Of course, just to make it fun, the reverse is true of the web client - when you set permissions, you set them for yourself, regardless of which computer you use to log in. --Amy
