Show my event on another calendar

You can share your events with other calendars. To do so, you just need to obtain Show On permission from the owner of the calendar you want to share events with. With Show On permission, calendar editors can share individual events with those calendars.

Once you’ve been granted Show On permission, you’ll be able to share your events up to another calendar and share events down from another calendar to your own calendar.

                          

 

Two groups control who can create and post events to your calendar: the Editor Group and the Show On Group:

Sharing Up and Sharing Down

The calendar owner grants the Show On permission to your calendar.

When your Editor Group is listed in another calendar’s Show On Group:

• Events from your calendar can be shared up to the other calendar
• You can share events from other calendars down to your own calendar

Common situations in which you may want to share events:

• Department calendar events to show on a College calendar
• College calendar events to show on UW Campus calendar
• Department calendar events to show on UW Campus calendar
• Department calendar events to show on a different Department calendar
