How Your Schedule is Handled by Team Members

In My Schedule Sharing Settings or when applying to join a team, you can configure how your schedule will be handled when other team members designate you as a participant in their scheduling. These settings can be changed at any time.

My Schedule Sharing Settings

"Schedule Format" Form

You can choose whether to show or hide the details of your schedule in the calendar within the "Suggest Schedule" section of team members' "New Schedule" page. If you choose to show details, your schedule names will be visible to team members as shown in the image. If you choose to hide details, your schedule names will be hidden with a lock icon, showing only the time slots of your schedules.
In the "Schedule Coordination Page" where team members have added you as a participant, your schedule names are always hidden.

Schedule Format Form

Even if you don't have any events in your Google Calendar, only the time range specified here will be shown as available time to team members. All forms below this one will apply the same settings to the "Schedule Coordination Page" created by team members.

"Set Off Time" Form

When turned ON, you can freely specify off-time periods such as lunch time, which will block those time slots from being scheduled.

Tentative schedules and confirmed events from schedule coordination where team members have designated you as a participant will be written to the calendar specified here.

"Event Names to Consider as Available (Partial Match)" Form

You can set events to be considered as available time even if they exist in your Google Calendar. Up to 8 names can be specified, separated by commas.
For example, if you enter "regular" in this setting, any event in your Google Calendar containing "regular" in its name will be ignored and considered as available time. Specifically, events like these will be ignored:

  • Regular Report Meeting
  • Project A Regular Meeting
  • XX Regular
