[edit] Norms

[edit] Managing Your Calendar

  • block off times you are unavailable by creating an event for yourself
  • confirm meetings you will attend, reject meetings you can't; if you reject a meeting, tell the convener you can't make it so they can schedule something else

[edit] Communicating With Others via Calendar

  • suggest a meeting time for other people by creating a meeting for them that doesn't conflict with their other meetings or events
    • don't assume they will attend until they confirm the meeting

[edit] Tips

[edit] For Domain Administrator

Mobile Sync must be enabled. In the domain control panel, go Service Settings-Mobile-Google Sync, and tick "Enable Google Sync". (This has been done already for dreamfish.com)

[edit] Sync: iPhone

[edit] Sync: Windows Mobile


[edit] Make a dedicated "calendar app" for your Dreamfish login

Tip from Pete K (Add-on info edited by Scott M):

You can keep your Dreamfish Google Calendar cookies separate from your other Google login(s) by using a special Firefox add-on to make a "site-specific browser". This is a special browser instance that keeps its own cookies and other settings -- it's like having a separate desktop Calendar app!

First, [the Prism add-on] (requires Firefox 3.0 or higher). Be sure to restart Firefox after it is done installing.

In the Firefox Tools menu, go to "Convert Website to Application..." to get started.
