Hi Ray, Thanks for your informative reply. I have taken your suggestion and created “College Calendar” which is visible to the entire domain, but for some reason I cannot see it on another account which I created (for testing) that doesn’t have Admin rights. I’m not sure if it’s a setting in the Control Panel, but I think I’ve covered that already – any suggestions? I will keep looking at the documentation in the meantime.
