General Settings

Make sure you have a valid email address for the administrator. For security reasons Teamup will and will only send link info to the administrator’s email address if it is requested.

Tip Enable the About box and use it for “about” and

contact info, announcements, links, or guidelines etc. that should be visible to all users.

Important!

General Settings: Timezone Teamup released timezone support

on December 9, 2013. It is only available to calendars created after the release. For users using calendars that were created earlier, the easiest way to benefit from the new feature is to create a new calendar.

By default, this feature is disabled. You can enable to show the timezone on the calendar display, or convert to local time and show the timezone.

Tips Teamup timezone support works well with Daylight

Savings Time (DST) as well as recurring events. Read more at http://goo.gl/RKHmsn

Settings: Calendar Views

Teamup offers many more calendar views than most other calendar applications. Check out this 2-minute video to see how the views look like and how to set up your preferred views.

Not only can the administrator configure the default calendar view and enable additional views, but it is also possible for any users to apply specific parameters to a link that would yield different views. See the Calendar Link Parameters document for more details.

Settings: Sharing

Tips

The four non-administrator links are pre-configured to demonstrate the various permissions a link may be assigned. Feel free to edit or delete any of them.

You may create as many such links as needed for sharing. If someone with such a link is no longer entitled to access the calendar, simply delete the link.

Settings: Sharing

Tips When a new link is created, the chosen permission is applied to all calendars. “Edit” a specific link to further customize its access rights to each calendar

based on the needs of the user or user group of that link.

How to Customize Access Rights

Tip In this example the link for user Bea allows to modify Bea’s own calendar but read-only to other people’s and room calendars, etc.
