You work as a System Analyst for Blue Well Inc. You use Microsoft Outlook 2007's calendar for scheduling events and other Outlook items. MS Outlook has been configured to use an IMAP account. You want to share the information of the calendar to other users. However, you want the other users to view and share the calendar information in the Overlay mode. Which of the following actions will you take to accomplish the task?
B. Open a shared calendar.
C. Publish the calendar.
D. Send the calendar via an e-mail.
Answer: D
Explanation:
By sending the calendar via an e-mail, you will be able to send the calendar as an Internet Calendar called a Calendar Snapshot. The calendar appears within the body of an e-mail message. However, all the Office Outlook 2007 users who receive the Calendar Snapshot can choose to open the calendar as an Outlook calendar. Doing so can display the Calendar Snapshot and the current calendar in side-by-side mode or calendar overlay mode. Recipients of Calendar Snapshots do not receive the changes that you make to the calendar until you send them a new Calendar Snapshot. This is a better way because it does not require any extra burden of switching the views because it opens the calendar in the Overlay mode by default. To see different calendars in the Overlay mode, you will have to take the following steps: 1. In the Navigation Pane, select the check boxes of the calendar you want to appear. 2. Click the icon on each calendar tab. The calendars will appear in the Overlay mode.
Answer option A is incorrect. The Share My Calendar option is used to share the default calendar of Outlook. By sharing the calendar, you can share the default Exchange Calendar with other user. However, it is required to have an exchange account. The recipient receives an e-mail notification that you have shared a Calendar. You can also request that the recipient share his or her Exchange Calendar with you. If you want to share a calendar that you have created and that is not the default Calendar, in the Navigation Pane, right-click the calendar name, and then click Share calendar name. You can also view the calendar in the Overlay mode after sharing it but you have to switch the view. Answer option C is incorrect. You can publish the default Office Outlook 2007 Calendar to Microsoft Office Online and control who can access your calendar on Office Online. Publishing an Internet Calendar requires neither the publisher nor the user to use an Exchange account. However, you want to view the calendar in the Overlay mode and this setting requires an additional burden of requests and receives. Answer option B is incorrect. You can open a shared calendar, if and only if you have an Exchange account. You can open another person's default Exchange Calendar if the person has granted you permission to do so. If the other person who's Calendar you want to open has not granted you permission to view it, Outlook prompts you to ask the person for the permission you need. If you click Yes, a sharing request e-mail message opens automatically. It requests the person to share his or her Calendar with you and also provides an option to share the calendar with him or her.
