How to Add a Calendar in Outlook
You may have the need to add a calendar to your calendar view at some point.
**For this example I will be adding the Property Accounting Calendar.
In order to add a group calendar of this nature you will first need to adjust a setting in your Outlook:
1. Click on File…Account Settings…
2. Then click on Account Name and Sync Settings.
3. When you get to the Exchange Account Settings page you will need to click on the “More Settings” button at the bottom.
4. Then click on the “Advanced” tab.
5. Then uncheck the box shown below, ‘Turn on shared calendar improvements’. This feature blocks the addition of shared calendars.
6. Then click ‘OK’.
7. After returning to Outlook, in the lower left corner is an icon menu like the one below. If you Right click on the calendar icon and ‘Open in a New Window’, it will retain your Outlook inbox.
8. Along the left side of the window under the calendars there may be calendar group folders. You can add the new shared calendar to any of the groups currently showing, or you can Right click, and create a new Folder for this purpose.
9. Once you know where you want it to reside and select Add Calendar…From Address Book. This will bring up the Address Book where you can select the shared calendar you need to add.
10. In this case we are adding the Property Accounting Calendar. Double click on the Calendar name and it should load and show up in the folder you opted. **See screenshot below.
