Q. Ever wondered how to extend the viewable free/busy section?
A. The default for viewing the free/busy section of the Outlook Calendar is set for two months by Microsoft (current month plus one month). To make the free/busy section viewable to include a longer period -
· Log into Outlook (you can be on the email inbox to make this change)
· Click Tools and Options
· Click Calendar Options
· Click Free/Busy Options, and make your change (12 months is advised)
NB: This assists greatly when checking availability for meetings, but can only be changed using the computer that the owner of the calendar uses. If you work for a team, send them the steps above so they can change this on their own computers.
