    • Please note: you are free to insert any name you prefer, but to distinguish clearly your personal calendars from shared calendars, we suggest you to use a prefix other users can easily understand. In our example we chose “shared-HE1year-lessons”, because it is going to be a shared calendar, ​​visible to all users having a SISSA e-mail box.
  • 2) Click on the OK button to save and create the new calendar.

Choose carefully the new calendar name.

A “calendar owner” can share his/her calendar with a restricted list of users as described in the Share a calendar with one ore more specific users having a SISSA e-mail box page. If your are in this restricted list of users, the “calendar owner” can add directly his/her shared calendar to your calendar list, so you will find it without doing anything. BUT If the “calendar owner” forgets to subscribe his/her calendar to you OR you wrongly unsubscribe it, you can subscribe it by yourself using the same procedure.

Click on the third icon [Subscribe to a Calendar …] in the CALENDAR area on the left of your main calendar window.
Look for "Subscribe to a calendar ..."

A new window will appear:
