Got a conference room, office hours, or a basketball court that you want to make available to others? Google Calendar makes it easy for you to share your available resources with the “Auto-accept invitations” feature. To learn more about this feature and the different acceptance levels, please visit What’s “Auto-accept invitations”? <\/a><\/p>\n

For assistance enabling this feature, we’ve provided sample instructions to create a resource calendar for “Conference Room B.” <\/p>\n

To enable the “Auto-accept invitations that do not conflict” level, please refer to the following steps: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a secondary calendar named “Conference Room B.” <\/li>\n
  2. In the calendar list on the left, click on the down-arrow button next to “Conference Room B,” select “Calendar settings,” then select the “Calendar Details” tab. <\/li>\n
  3. Enable the “Auto-accept invitations” feature by selecting “Auto-accept invitations that do not conflict.” <\/li>\n
  4. Click “Save.” <\/li>\n
  5. Click on the down-arrow next to the calendar you created and select “Share this calendar.” <\/li>\n
  6. Enter the email addresses of the users with whom you wish to grant access to your resource. <\/li>\n
  7. Select the desired shared permission level (Must be “See all event details” or higher.) <\/li>\n
  8. Click “Save.” <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To enable the “Automatically add all invitations to this calendar” level, please follow the instructions below: <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Create a secondary calendar named “Conference Room B.” <\/li>\n
    2. In the calendar list on the left, click on the down-arrow button next to “Conference Room B,” select “Calendar settings,” then select the “Calendar Details” tab. <\/li>\n
    3. Enable the “Auto-accept invitations” feature by selecting “Automatically add all invitations to this calendar.” <\/li>\n
    4. Click “Save.” <\/li>\n
    5. Share the calendar’s email address with those who don’t have access to the calendar. (You can find the calendar’s email address in the “Calendar Address” section of the individual Calendar Settings page.)<\/li>\n
    6. If you’d also like to allow others to view events on this calendar, click on the down-arrow next to the calendar you created and select “Share this calendar.”<\/li>\n
    7. Enter the email addresses of the users with whom you wish to grant access to your resource.<\/li>\n
    8. Select the desired shared permission level (Must be “See all event details” or higher.) <\/li>\n
    9. Click “Save.” <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Please note that the “Auto-accept invitations” feature only works on secondary calendars at this time. <\/p>\n

      The Google Apps help pages are a great resource. Here’s one that describes how to create calendars for ‘resources’ such as meeting rooms, computer labs, sports courts – even shared equipment. We’ve been using this method for our Board Room for a few years now, and it works really well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
