Sharing your calendar in DocketCalendar is important for several reasons, which relate to both internal coordination and ensuring access to updated legal deadlines across your team or firm. Here are key reasons why you might need to share your calendar:
- Access Control: If you wish to assign a calendar that does not belong to your linked email account, sharing that calendar becomes necessary. This enables individuals within your organization to view and manage deadlines, appointments, and scheduling orders pertinent to their work or cases they are following.
- Collaboration: Sharing calendars facilitates better collaboration among team members. For instance, attorneys, paralegals, secretaries, and staff can share one calendar in a solo firm setup, or have their specific deadlines on their personal calendar while still sharing access with team members as needed in a small firm setup. This ensures that everyone is on the same page regarding case deadlines and appointments.
- Efficiency and Transparency: By sharing calendars, all deadlines can be centralized, offering a single view where all relevant deadlines can be seen. This is particularly advantageous in larger firms where multiple cases are being handled simultaneously. It helps in avoiding scheduling conflicts and ensures that no deadlines are missed.
- Customization and Flexibility: DocketCalendar allows for sharing both Outlook and Google Calendars. This flexibility ensures that regardless of the email and calendar service your firm uses, you can integrate DocketCalendar seamlessly, enhancing productivity and maintaining the continuity of case management processes.
- Firmwide Access: The advantage of having a shared calendar is to give the firm's staff access to a single view where all deadlines can be seen. This is particularly useful in even a two-attorney firm, as it helps in managing deadlines more efficiently, avoiding clutter, and making it easier to identify specific deadlines.
Sharing your calendar in DocketCalendar is not just a feature; it's a strategic tool that enhances collaboration, ensures efficiency, and maintains transparency across all levels of a legal firm.
