MS Outlook Calendar Multiple Meetings
Posted on 9/11/17 at 9:11 pm
Posted on 9/11/17 at 9:11 pm
Is there a way for me to make multiple all-day events at weird intervals. If so, is there a way to make it a template so I can do it faster?
I have a very repetitive business that has identical deadlines for every project I am given. Currently, I have to add all of these deadlines into my outlook calendar manually. I'd like a short cut where I can select a template or something that automatically programs the various all-day calendar items that I currently create manually.
For instance, I get a project today and I want to make an all-day reminder in 15 days to remind me to complete my first task. 7 days later, I need an all-day reminder for my second task. 45 days later, I need a reminder for my third task.
The other scenario is deadlines. I want to add an all-day event in my outlook calendar for the final deadline for a project. I'd like a 15 day reminder and a 5 day reminder to appear on my calendar as all-day events. I know there is a way to add a single reminder, but if it pops up while I'm away from my desk, I tend to ignore the reminder. An all-day calendar item is much harder to ignore.
Is there some way to automatically do this through a macro or function of MS Outlook of which I'm unaware. I keep my life in outlook, so I'd like for all of my deadlines to appear there as well.
TIA

It's been a long time since I've used Outlook. Can you import events from a CSV file? If so, set up a template in Excel where you put in the start date and the due date amd let it calculate the rest of the dates. Then save it as a CSV file and import it.

Yes you can export/import events in csv format. So the OP can export his current calendar events to creat a csv template for future use.

That actually works fairly well.
I just have to change the first part of the title to update what the project number is and the start date. I have all of the other fields populating based on that field. Really a lot easier than my previous way.
Thanks!!

My company switched to Google Apps a while ago, so everything is through gmail/google calendar. I think it's $50 per year per user. Originally each user got 25GB of storage, but I just check on my usage and it says I have unlimited storage. Not sure if that's covered with the $50, or if there's a higher level to get the unlimited.

I'm far from some MS fanboy by any stretch of the imagination. But don't you find that G-Mail* is hot dogshit by comparison? I've lived in Lotus Notes, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, G-Mail, Lotus Notes (again), and Outlook on multiple occasions professionally and there is absolutely, positively no comparison in my mind.
Outlook is far, far superior to anything anyone else offers for e-mail.
*-Having said that, I use G-Mail for my small/side business and personal/webmail usage. It's the best of the rest IMO.

I was never a power user of Outlook. Gmail does what I need. I was happy to make the switch, but I know some co-workers weren't happy about it. I guess it depends on your volume of emails/contacts/calendar needs.

75 through the In-and out-box so far today and I'm halfway through my day. It's labeling, rule, task/to-do and calendaring functions are essential to what I do and how I do it.
G-Mail is workable for personal use. But Outlook gives me life.
