Adding A Google Resource Calendar to Your Calendar List

Many of our buildings are now using Google Resource Calendars to schedule their shared spaces such as computer labs, media centers, book check out, etc.  We assign rights to those resource, as often as possible, based upon Google Group.  For example, we would assign a the HHS LAB 204 calendar to the HHS Teachers Google Group.  When we initially assign the rights to the calendar, each end user receives an email invitation and can easily add the calendar to his/her calendar list.  

What happens if that end user is new or simply added to the Google Group AFTER the group has been assigned rights to the calendar resource?  Well, that person would not receive an email calendar invite.  Never fear!  Google Resource Calendars are designed in such a way that end users can easily find the resource and subscribe to it once they have been added to the group.  

Follow the instructions below to easily add a Google Resource Calendar for which you have been granted rights:

If you have rights to a resource Calendar (such as computer lab calendars) but don’t have the invite that was originally sent, you can still subscribe to that resource.  

1. Log into your Google Account.
2. Open your calendar.
3. On the left hand side you will see “Other Calendars”.  Click the down arrow next to “Other Calendars”.
4. Click "Browse Interesting Calendars".

4. Click the “More” link toward the top.
5. Click the “Resources for hartlandschools.us” link.

6. Find the calendars you are interested in adding as a resource and click the “Subscribe” link to the right of it.  You can only add resources for which you have rights.  
7. Your calendar will now be added to our “Other Calendars” list.

8. If you attempt to add a calendar but are denied the ability to add it, please put in a Technology Work Order to be granted rights and we will take care of that for you.
