Using Admin Center Calendar

About Admin Center Calendar

Admin Center Calendar can help Administrators to keep track of all the important events of the company, all in one place. Using the calendar allows you to create and manage group calendars, add/edit/delete events on these calendars, view other users' free/busy times, invite other users to your events.

Calendar list organization

Your calendars are listed in the calendar list to the left of the page in Admin Center. Here's a brief description of what you'll find in each section:

My calendars

This section includes calendars that you've created or have the ability to edit. Shared calendars will appear in this section only if you have permission to make changes and manage sharing. Your primary calendar will always be the first calendar listed in this section. (The primary calendar is the default calendar displayed when you first signed in to Admin Center.)

Other calendars

You'll find public and shared calendars in this section of your calendar list. Keep in mind that you won't be able to edit or create events on any of these calendars. To add more calendars, simply click Other calendars to view the available options.

At this time, calendar names are displayed in alphabetical order (however, your primary calendar will always be listed first).

How to

Create a new calendar

To create a new calendar, just follow these steps:

1. Click the + sign to the right of My calendars
2. Select Create new calendar
3. Enter information about your new calendar
4. Click the Create calendar button

All of the calendars you create will be listed under My Calendars on the left side of your page. For each of the calendars, you can add, delete, and edit events any time you like.

Please note that there's a limit to the number of calendars you can create at one time. If you're receiving an error message when creating additional calendars, please wait 24 hours before trying again.

Delete a calendar

To permanently delete a calendar from your calendar list, just follow these steps:

1. Click the drop-down arrow next to My calendars or Other calendars and choose Settings. (Alternatively, click the gear icon at the top of any Calendar page, click Calendar settings and then choose Calendars.)
2. Click the Hide or Delete link next to the calendar you want to remove.
   • Delete will permanently erase the calendar. (No one, including those who are sharing or subscribing to the calendar, will be able to access it anymore.)
   • Hide will only remove your access to the calendar. (Others will still be able to use it normally.)
3. Click OK.

!!! Keep in mind that it is not possible to delete your primary calendar. You can clear all the events on your primary calendar, rename this calendar, and schedule new events to effectively replace your original primary calendar.

Here's how to clear all of the events on your primary calendar:

1. Click the drop-down arrow next to My calendars and choose Settings. (Alternatively, click the gear icon at the top of any Calendar page, click Calendar settings and then choose Calendars.)
2. Click the Delete link to the right of your primary calendar (the first calendar in the list.) You'll see this message: You are about to permanently delete all events on your primary calendar. This action cannot be undone.
3. Select the checkbox next to Yes, I definitely want to delete all of the events on my calendar to acknowledge that all of the events on your primary calendar will be permanently deleted
4. Click the Delete all events button.

Please keep in mind that it may take a few moments to fully access Google Calendar's features after clearing your primary calendar.

Click and type to create an event. Click on the day where you'd like to create a new event. If the event spans over an hour, click and drag. Type the title and event time for your new event in the box. Finally, click Create event to publish the event to your calendar immediately, or click Edit event details to add additional information.
