Add a Calendar to Your Workspace

CommonView allows you to add calendars from your UW Google Apps and commercial Google accounts directly into a workspace. Note: To be viewable within the workspace, the calendar must be public.

Adding a calendar to your workspace is a two step process: first, you log in to your Google account and allow Catalyst to access your calendars, and then you select the specific calendar(s) to add to the workspace. Follow the steps below to add a calendar to a workspace:

1. From the Catalyst account page, click the name of the CommonView workspace to which you want to add a calendar.
2. On the menu on the left, click the view to which you want to add the calendar. You will move to the selected view.
3. Click Add content (found immediately underneath the title of the view). The drop-down menu will open.
4. Click Add calendar. You will move to the "Add calendar" page.
5. Click either Log in to UW Google Apps or Log in to Google. You will move to a Google Accounts page. If you are not already signed in to Google or UW Google Apps, you will be prompted to enter your user name and password.
6. You will be informed that the Catalyst Tools site is requesting access to your Google Calendar. Click Grant access. You will return to the workspace.
7. Select Add content>Add calendar again. You will move to the "Add calendar" page, and see a list of your Google calendars.
8. Select the calendars you want to add to the workspace. Click Preview at the bottom of the list of calendars to view the calendars that will be added to the workspace before proceeding.
9. You can add a description of the calendar in the space provided. The description will display underneath the calendar in the workspace.
