1. Highlight: Teamup Templates
There are a lot of decisions when you’re structuring a calendar. It can take time to try different options and see what works best. Or you might know exactly how you want the calendar to be structured, but you still have to do the set up. With a calendar template, you can get a lot of that initial work done automatically.
We’ve started creating a template gallery with calendar templates that will give you a head-start for common use cases.

2. Inspiration: Capture, organize, and share knowledge
It’s frustrating to lack the information you need to do your job well. It’s also frustrating to spend time sharing insights with a colleague, only to be asked again for the next project or task. These frustrations grow over time and discourage teams from being open and available with what they know.
A thoughtful system is the antidote. There are many tools you can use to build a knowledge-sharing system, including our favorite: Teamup.
3. Use case: Easier event sharing to Facebook groups
Trying to share an event to a Facebook group can be harder than you expect. With Teamup, you have the option to share any event as a stand-alone event page. An event page has all the event details and any images you added. Plus, it’s updated automatically! Try sharing an event page to a Facebook group for an easy, organized way to keep group members updated. More details and other tips in the blog post!
4. May’s power tips from the Teamup Ticker
Set up a caregiving calendar
Share a calendar with extended family and caretakers to provide support, coordinate for medical appointments, and even schedule around-the-clock care for loved ones.
Provide instructions for self-booking
Help your calendar users self-book within guidelines by providing booking instructions in the About box, a small text box in the left sidebar of the calendar.
Control the number of weeks shown in Multi-week view
Set the number of weeks for the time period that’s most relevant to you: schedule shifts for 6 weeks, plan assignments for 12-week courses, or set milestones for a 36-week project.
Use color-coding to visualize tentative or confirmed event status
It’s helpful to have a visual distinction between events such as bookings that may be tentative or confirmed. Here are two ways to color-code your calendar to differentiate at a glance.
Rearrange event fields
One way you can make your calendar more useful is by rearranging both default and custom fields. For example, arrange from most important to least, or put required fields at the top.
5. Product highlight: The Teamup App
Do you use your Teamup Calendar to stay organized for work, do family and personal scheduling, or keep up with groups or projects? You may be used to viewing or scheduling events mostly in a browser. With the Teamup app, you can stay updated and manage scheduling on your phone or tablet, too.
