Viewing Apple Calendars in My Schedule

• iPad

To avoid scheduling conflicts, users can view entries from their Apple calendars in My Schedule. When Apple calendars are enabled, users can choose to display entries from any calendars in their iPad calendar application.

For example, Sarah Jones captures personal appointments on her Personal calendar in her iPad's Apple calendar application. In My Schedule, she adds the Personal calendar to display those entries in addition to her calls and activities. When planning her calls for the upcoming week, Sarah can easily see she has a dentist appointment on Friday and she avoids scheduling calls during the appointment.
