Save your own view of a calendar (My view)
A shared calendar opens the way its manager set it up: in its default view, with the sources it shows and all categories. With My view you keep your own version of it, for example the Week view with only your team’s sources and without holidays. The calendar then opens that way for you on all your devices: in SharePoint, in Teams and in the browser. Your colleagues keep seeing the calendar’s own view.
What My view remembers
- The view, such as Week or Month.
- The sources you switched off in the legend.
- The categories you switched off in the Categories filter, and its Filter with OR setting.
My view does not store a date: the calendar still opens on the current period. Sources and categories that are added to the calendar later are shown in your view.
Save your view
- Open the calendar and set it up the way you want it: choose the view, switch sources off or on in the legend, and set the Categories filter.
- Select the My view icon, a person, in the calendar toolbar next to Print. The menu starts with a short note on what it saves.
- Select Save as my view.
While you have a saved view, the My view icon stays highlighted.
Switch between your view and the calendar’s view
The menu has two choices, and a check mark shows the one you see now:
- My view shows the view you saved.
- Calendar’s view shows the calendar as it is set up for everyone: its default view, its sources and all categories.
Switching to Calendar’s view does not delete your view. The next time you open the calendar, your view opens again.
Change or delete your view
- To change your view, set up the calendar differently and select Update my view. The command is available only when what you see differs from your saved view.
- To stop using your view, select Delete my view. From then on, the calendar opens in the calendar’s view.
Good to know
- Your view is saved for you and for this calendar only. Each calendar can have its own saved view.
- It is saved with your Virto Calendar App settings, not in the browser, so it applies on every device and in every place where the calendar is shown.
- If a link opens the calendar in a particular view, you get that view; your sources and categories still apply.
- When the data source legend is turned off for the calendar (Show Data Source Legend in the calendar settings), nobody can switch sources, so the calendar’s sources apply. Your saved view type and categories still do.
- While your organization’s settings are being moved to another storage region, a view cannot be saved.
- My view changes only what you see. To change what everyone sees, a calendar manager changes the calendar settings.
