4. December’s power tips from the Teamup Ticker
Optimize Teamup for smaller browser screen space
If you’re working with a smaller screen (or a busy calendar) these tips can be helpful for making the most of your screen space when using Teamup on a browser.
How to adjust the order of all-day events
If you have a certain calendar which contains events you’d like to see at the top of each day, you can use this tip to control the order of all-day events.
How to merge sub-calendars
You may need to make changes to your calendar structure; for example, if two small teams have merged into a single larger team, you may wish to merge their separate team sub-calendars. You can do so without losing data from either calendar. Here’s how.
Add a daily weather report to your calendar
Here’s how to set up an iCalendar feed which will automatically display each day’s weather. The daily weather will show as a separate event for each day, so you’ll have an up-to-date weather report you can check every morning.
Tips for organizing a complex calendar
Some scheduling scenarios get much more complex because there are multiple factors involved in the scheduling. With Teamup, you can use both sub-calendars and custom fields to include multiple dimensions in scheduling.
5. Product updates: Dedicated field for event reminders
Improved administrator control of event reminders
A recent update provides more administrator control over event reminders.
We’ve added a dedicated event field for Reminders so the calendar administrator has more control, including the ability to deactivate event reminders completely.
6. Insight: Three ways to visualize booking status
For a booking calendar, you might allow group members to self-book use of shared resources. You can set a booking calendar up so that users can request bookings, and then a staff member can review and approve the bookings. With this setup, there are two booking types on the calendar: tentative and confirmed. Here are three ways to set up your calendar so it’s easy to see different the booking status at a glance.
