NOBIS | How to Use/View the Travel Calendar

Summary

When you schedule travel, we ask that you send a calendar invitation to the NOBIS-Travel Calendar account that spans the time of your travel and shows where you will be traveling. It's as easy as just including your name and your destination in the meeting Title field.

You can also view the Travel Calendar from within Outlook to see where your co-workers will be if you need to coordinate meetings or other travel.

Instructions

Add your trip to the Travel Calendar

Using Outlook, create a New Meeting.
In the Title field, include your name and destination. For example: Mickey Mouse | Orlando, FL
In the Required field, add the Nobis Travel Calendar by typing in NOBIS-Travel Calendar, or click the Required button, find NOBIS-Travel Calendar in the list, and add to the Required field.
Change the Start and End time fields to the appropriate duration.
Click Send.
- You might be prompted that your request doesn't include a location and give you the option to Send Anyway - you can just click the Send Anyway button, that field is not relevant in this use case.
Your travel will now appear on the Travel Calendar for all to view.
