# Using Calendar Categories

Inherently, Facilities&Events creates a calendar for every room in the inventory as part of the reservation request process. **Calendar Categories** is where you create public calendars for a given room or container of assets.

## **Creating a New Calendar Category**

You use Calendar Categories to build public calendars for sharing online where users can preview reservations for rooms or assets before completing a reservation form. A reservation manager can publish reservations to the calendar categories they are assigned to.

**Step 1:** Select the **Manage** tab.

**Step 2:** Select **Calendar Categories** under **Facility Setup**.

**Step 3:** Select **Create New Category**, which appears under **Calendar Category Options**.

**Step 4:** Enter the **Title**.

> [!TIP]
> **Pro-Tip:** Use a specific location in the title for Calendar Categories to identify for requestors and calendar managers to use.

**Step 5:** Click **Save**.

## **Assigning a Calendar to a Manager**

**Step 1:** Select the **Manage** tab.

**Step 2:** Select **Manage Users**.

### **View Access Settings for the Calendar**

You can broadly assign a user’s view access to public calendars by giving them **No Access**, **Access at Some Campuses**, or **Access at All Campuses**.

To assign **Access at Some Campuses**, select the **Plus** button next to a public calendar to choose specific schools to view the calendar.

To assign **Access at All Campuses**, check the box next to a public calendar to allow the reservation manager to publish reservations to all schools.
