Question from Customer:

I would like to see support for the GroupWise 7/8 style shared calendars (calendars that appear in your calendar folder under your personal calendar) in RIVA. I had assumbed that since this feature was out for that last 2 years that it would have been supported by RIVA but I found out that it is not currently supported.

In GroupWise 6.5 it was possible to share folders as calendars (using a managed folder policy) but it required that you change each user's display settings on the shared folder to "display as calendar". This was not practical for pushing out calendars (shared folders) to hundreds of users.

I would like to be able to create a managed folder policy such that when click on the options tab I see the personal & shared calendars (under the calendar folder) in addition to the currently viewed personal/shared folders in the cabinet. Then I would push our these shared calendars using RIVA so that they automatically appear in the recipeints Calendar Folder.

Answer:

We are pleased to let you know that this feature will be available in Riva version 2.4.3 due January 2, 2010.

The ability to share calendars does not appear under Managed Calendars. It appears under Managed Folders. When you upgrade to a newer version that supports this option, GroupWise sub-calendars can be selected to be shared with users. You can choose to add them with read-only or read-write access. It sounds like in your case, you want to add a number of sub-calendars as read-only calendars to users accounts so they can choose to view the combined calendars.

Add a calendar to an existing Riva Managed Folders policy source object and put some entries in the calendar (or create a new Managed Folders Policy for testing). Open your policy. Add the new calendar to the policy. This calendar will now be pushed to all of your users. The only restriction is that you cannot share sub-sub-calendars. You can only share sub-calendars. You can certainly create multiple sub-calendars that can be shared by selecting all of the calendars you want to share.
