Have you ever been in a situation where you end up wasting a whole hour on sending some important information to all your team members by individually adding their email addresses? Let me tell you that this method is not at all productive but complex. And before you loop into such more complex processes, let me give you a productive option - integrate a Dynamics 365 Calendar into your work system.

Google Calendar can also be an option here, but if you are working on Dynamics, you probably would need a calendar that syncs with Dynamics 365. This will relieve you from constant shuffling between two different solutions. Also, there are many additional features in the Dynamics 365 Calendar that can speed up your business operations. Let me pass you details for the same:

Multiple Calendars

A separate customer calendar will also help you to manage team members' ongoing tasks. Dynamics 365 manages numerous purposes for you and ensures that there are no repetitive tasks and no task is left.

   2. Schedule Activities

A Dynamics 365 Calendar helps you to plan your to-do tasks, meetings, appointments productively. How? By letting you create your activities in a manageable manner. For example, you can classify the tasks by day, week, or year. You can also perform different operations like scheduling, rescheduling, editing, drag & drop, deleting, etc., from the calendar itself. 

You can even tag any users or team members to an activity. The activity can be anything like a meeting, phone call, appointment, task, reminder, etc. You can even manage resources and their activities. This is not it, it even allows you to switch in multiple languages of your comfort. With Dynamics 365 Calendar, it is possible to track user’s activities like:

What they are working on
Approve/deny their leaves directly from the calendar

It ensures that you do not miss any task or meeting. How? Simply by reminding you about the task in your preferred way, i.e., via desktop notification or email. 

Additionally, if it is a reminder for a meeting, the Dynamics 365 calendar notifies you about the documents that you might need for the meeting.
