FAQ
If I set the calendar to show only busy status, can other members still see event details?
- When the permission is set to Show as Busy, other members can only see whether that time slot is occupied.
- In this mode, event details such as the title, location, or attendees are typically not shown.
- If others need to see more information, change the default permission to View Event Details.
Can individual events use a different visibility scope?
- Enterprise Visibility Settings defines the default rule.
- When creating or editing an individual event, the creator can adjust that event's visibility scope separately as needed.
- An individual event setting can override the default visibility rule for special cases such as sensitive meetings.
Do updated visibility settings apply to events that were already created?
- After the enterprise visibility settings are changed, the update usually affects newly created events first.
- Existing events keep the visibility scope that was set when they were created.
- If you need to change existing events, update the visibility setting in each event separately.
