How can individuals in a department post vacations/sick leave?
Since Entourage doesn’t support departmental calendars in Public Folders, individuals can create a meeting, check “All-day event” and invite a pre-created Group (everyone in the department or manager plus immediate co-workers) from the Address Book. The “event” will appear as a note at the top of each “invited” person’s calendar. Important: You need to change Options | Show Free/Busy Status As to Free when you create the “All-day event”; otherwise, the “invitees” time will also display as busy for the entire day. You may also want to add an “8:00 – 5:00” appointment for yourself, so that your time will display as busy.
