How to Assign a Calendar

Assigning your first calendar

Once you have linked your email account and granted permission to DocketCalendar, you will be prompted to assign your first calendar.

Click here if your have not yet linked your email account to DocketCalendar

DocketCalendar should automatically walk you through this process the first time you log in after granting permission. Once you have assigned your first calendar, the "Connect a Calendar" button will change to "Assigned Calendars".

If you need additional guidance, please follow the steps below.

Assigning Additional Calendars

1. Add the number of desired calendars to your subscription from the shopping cart. The shopping cart can be accessed by clicking on “Subscription” under the manage tab in DocketCalendar. You may add an unlimited amount of calendars while in free trial mode.

2. Click on Assigned Calendars under the SETTINGS & PREFERENCES section on the toolbar. (Screenshot Below)

3. If you want to assign a calendar that does not belong to your linked email account, you will need to share that calendar.  Share Outlook    Share Gmail

3. Give your calendar a name.

4. Enter the email address of this calendar. (If this is a secondary calendar, enter the email address of its primary calendar)

5. Locate and select the calendar you want to assign from the “Select Calendar” dropdown. If you do not see the calendar you want to assign, you will need to share that calendar with the linked email account. (If you have not shared any calendars with your linked email account, you will have three options to choose from; United States holidays, Calendar, and Birthdays)

6. Click “Assign.”

Note: If your newly shared calendars do not appear in the select calendar dropdown, you may need to accept/add them from your linked email account.

After calendars have been shared, you will need to accept the invitation and click view. The invitation will be sent to the inbox of the linked email account.  

Outlook Users: If your IT administrator shared the calendars from a PowerShell command, they will need to be added to the calendar using the Add Calendar / Add From Directory function.

Google Users: In order to add a shared calendar to your Gmail account, you must be logged in to only that Gmail account in your web browser. If you use Gmail normally for any other email address, we recommend, just for adding new shared calendars, that you open an incognito window in Chrome and login to your Linked Gmail account there. Then accept the shared calendar.

You can not edit the name or email for notification after assigning a calendar. If you need to remove an assigned calendar we recommend you remove the events from your calendar first.
