I am creating a very specific calendar for the healthcare industry
which requires a single updated data source, but multiple calendars
to pull from it. I am running on 3.0 '07, sql 2005, and using the
sharepoint designer to interact with the portions of the site which
need special attention.
Here are a few of the challenges I am currently overcoming, which i
would gladly welcome any advice on.
1.) I created a Sharepoint Site, which is meant to be used as a
Calendar, updated by one, viewed by many. They (the Healthcare Org),
want me to restrict the "views" to specific individuals and only
allow group A. to see Calendar A, perhaps B and maybe C, but Group B.
can only see Calendar B.(well I think you get the gist of it). There
are hundreds of Active Directory Entries, which have been imported
into the site, and are being classified as we speak.
2.) Upon login, determine the "Default View" and possible "other
Views", for the logged in individual, and keep them out of the other
calendars where sensitive information might be stored.
3.) This is really for Scheduling of resources, (people), using
recurring events, exceptions, etc... The ability to create from a
template calendar I have gotten to, but how to get that calendar to
pull from a single data source, Preferrably the Main Calendar, is the
trick.
I had thought about having the data exported as an xml file, and then
imported/drawn from in each new calendar, but that hasnt been reached
either.
I am really stuck here and am quickly running out of time, as I am
already over my deadline bu 3 months...
