Using Calendar for Teams

Rune

Hi, It is not crystal clear to me how to use the calendar for planning teams meetings. Is there a video or howto walkthrough
I have

Created the team
Opened the calendar on the team
Inserted an event
Other team member does NOT see it. ????
Maybe a very detailed step by step for setting up a shared calendar for n people, expaining what each member should do could be generally helpful?

Hello,

Rune Opened the calendar on the team

There is no such thing. The calendar application itself isn't tied to a team.

As mentioned in our user guide, you have to share the calendar of your choice, juste like any other document: https://docs.cryptpad.org/en/user_guide/collaboration.html#share-access

Users guide says: "Teams can also have calendars available to all members. Simply share a calendar with a team to add it:"
So maybe a usecase could be nice to see elaborated.

Rune see the "Add to team drive" section of the sharing modal: https://docs.cryptpad.org/en/user_guide/share_and_access.html#sharing-with-contacts

Ok, if I have suggested a better documentation, maybe its because the existing is not crystal clear?. However I give up and assume I'm writing with a robot.

Hi thank you for your report and sorry for the lack of follow up. There are no robots writing on this forum, simply an understaffed team!

Adding calendars to a team is definitely something we could improve on. The confusion comes from the fact that you cannot currently create a calendar in a team. You have to create for yourself first, then share it with the team with edit rights. I also end up deleting the calendar from my own list then in such cases.

This is far from an optimal process to simply add a calendar to a team so we will look to correct this at the earliest opportunity.

If you could just paste that response into the documentation that would be a great help
