Majority of companies depend largely on teamwork to finish several tasks, projects, and procedures throughout the day. More often than not, team members happen to be in a separate location and, at times, with a different time zone. Dealing with remote teams is a tough task and one has to adapt well to the challenges on offer or else suffer from disorganization and huge disappointments.

Few years back ie. prior to the advent of smartphones and the world wide web, operating a business was akin to having a brick-and-mortar shop with every employee sharing the same working space. Distributing tasks was very easy, you would print a master paper calendar and pin it to a bulletin board for everyone to see. Communication or interaction was smooth as team members were present in a single shared space.

Cut to the present day, technological innovations have facilitated employees to stay connected and work properly even if they are miles apart. With remote work getting popular, the capacity to exchange calendars via cloud has assumed significance. Since technology solutions like Salesforce keep a lot of company data, it is only apt to keep schedules there as well.

Productivity & visibility intensify with Salesforce calendar sharing

Exchanging calendars in your organization enables your teams to cooperate and interact smoothly by bringing down costs and enhancing productivity. With less efforts, you can arrange a meeting, or curate a presentation. Sharing calendars in Salesforce permits your team to view availability instantly and keep unpleasant surprises and interruptions at bay. The facility of Salesforce calendar sharing, allows users to access their tasks via Salesforce when they are not in the office or are onsite aided by mobile devices, tablets, or laptops. For entrusting tasks, arranging meets or fixing deadlines, shared calendars do everything smoothly.

Salesforce calendar sharing with CalendarAnything

Calendar Anything has the ability to enhance the efficacy of Salesforce calendar. Being a Salesforce calendar app, the technology works perfectly with your Org to assist you in deriving the maximum out of your Salesforce solution.

You also get the benefit of sharing your calendars internally with the rest of Salesforce users in your team, and externally on your website. With CalendarAnything at your disposal, you can make date-based calendars out of any object in Salesforce — whether it is standard or custom. You can even erase, tweak, add, and copy Salesforce records straight away on the calendar UI via drag-and-drop functionality. Sift sets, conditional coloring, and grouping capabilities assist you in making sense of every data.

Exchange internally with ease

In order to share the calendars you make with other members of your organization, CalendarAnything uses native Salesforce functionality via public groups. Your system administrator has to form a public group via Salesforce setup (ex: in line with role, hierarchy, etc.). While developing a calendar, you have the right to decide the public groups you want to make it accessible. Apart from sharing and visualizing calendars in the app you also have the ability to showcase them on the Salesforce home page. Drive adoption by keeping the calendar as the first thing your users would come across when they come in to Salesforce.

You can even attach the calendar onto a record page. Why go for static related lists when you can display an opportunities calendar on an account record page to showcase those concerned to it? CalendarAnything connects with your employees, customers, or partners seamlessly and extends calendar sharing via Salesforce Communities. Also you can visualize and effect changes to your team’s schedules through the free Lightning extension via Salesforce mobile app.

Share externally as well

In case, you wish to keep your customers informed on everything about your company events or availabilities, CalendarAnything is very adept at these as well. Contact us at calendaranything@silverlinecrm.com for more information.
