Admin | Create and manage all-staff calendars

2 min read
I. Intro
🔖
Who can perform these steps: Primary administrators or administrators with Calendar permissions.
An all-staff calendar is created by the administrator and all members subscribe to it automatically. All-staff calendars are suitable for sharing information on events that are related to all staff members, such as holiday schedules and public lectures. After an administrator creates an all-staff calendar in the Admin Console, the calendar will be automatically synced to team members' personal calendars.
II. Steps
Add all-staff calendar
  1. Go to the Lark Admin Console, and then select Product Settings > Calendar.
  1. Click All-Staff Calendar > Add all-staff calendar and then you can select Set as all-staff calendar or Create an all-staff calendar.
  • If you select Set as all-staff calendar, you can search for an existing calendar managed by you or a public calendar and set it as an all-staff calendar.
  • Click Visibility > Settings to set the visibility scope of the all-staff calendar. You can select All members or some members from My Organization or User Group. Members within the visibility scope will automatically subscribe to the calendar and can view event details.
  • When the visibility scope is not All members, the option for Members excluded from visibility settings can search and subscribe to calendar will appear, which is selected by default. If you deselect this option, members outside the visibility scope cannot subscribe to the related calendar through searching.

IV. FAQs
What is the difference between a public calendar and an all-staff calendar?
They have the following differences:
  • Calendar creation permission: A public calendar can be created by any team member, but an all-staff calendar can be created only by an administrator.
  • Calendar display location: In the Calendar interface, public calendars and all-staff calendars that are not created by yourself are displayed in the Subscribed calendars, and calendars that are managed by yourself are displayed in My calendars.
  • Calendar subscription method: For public calendars, members need to search and click to subscribe. For all-staff calendars, members within the visibility scope are automatically subscribed.
Note: When the subscription scope of the all-staff calendar is for some members, the administrator can set the calendar to be searchable by other members. Then members outside the visibility scope can also subscribe to this calendar through search.
How to sync the event to all members of the organization?
This can be achieved by creating an all-staff calendar, which can be done only by an administrator.
