Zimbra Calendar Training for Departments & Groups

In addition to email, the Zimbra collaboration suite provides a robust calendar application. Like Meeting Maker, the Zimbra calendar allows users to schedule meetings with staff, faculty and students alike. If you are a current Meeting Maker user, it’s important to get familiar with the new calendar before Meeting Maker is discontinued at the end of October.

To help with the transition, OIT is offering the opportunity to schedule “1-hour” hands-on training sessions for departments and groups that want to start using Zimbra's calendar now. These sessions will cover the basics of using the calendar including advanced topics like calendar sharing and managing roles and setting calendar specific preferences. Until Meeting Maker is discontinued, OIT encourages departments to attend calendar training together if possible. Doing so will make it easier to schedule interdepartmental meetings if everyone is using Zimbra calendar instead of a combination of Zimbra and Meeting Maker.

For your convenience we set aside the days and locations for training, as listed below:

• Monday, August 24 - Wednesday August 26 from 8:30 - 4:30 in Goldstein 202
• Monday, August 31 - Friday, September 4 from 9:00 - 1:00 in the Beck Instructional Lab (located on the Lower Level in Miller Library)

Hopefully, we’ll see you in a workshop real soon.
