A Resource Calendar represents a physical resource (e.g., conference room) that can be scheduled using the “Rooms etc.” area in the calendar invite. You can request a Resource Calendar via Web Registry.
Not to be confused with a Sub-Calendar or Additional Calendar which is created by a user or generic account in addition to their own primary calendar.
Pros
- Owned by the NC State domain, not an individual account, so can’t be removed without a specific request
- Determine permission levels for other users
- Edit visibility for the public/NC State domain
- Appears in the “Rooms, etc.” area of the Calendar invite
- Approve or deny event invitations
- Manage auto-accept for event invitations
- Enable event notifications to alert you when events are created, changed, etc.
Cons
- Cannot be created on demand; submit via Web Registry and turn around is 3-5 business days, usually quicker.
Ideal Use Cases
- Conference rooms, vehicles, equipment or other resources that can be scheduled
Notes
- Name changes to resource calendars must be done by the Help Desk. Name changes you may make to a resource calendar from within Google will be reflected only on your calendar.
- Double booking a Resource calendar is not possible.
- Contacts should continue to be maintained in Web Registry.
