Whats the best way for my Partner and I to use Airset for calendar, whilst still keeping security of our professional data?
Im struggling to find an efficient way of my partner and I sharing our respective calendars.
Currently she is on Google calendar for her work and personal commitments . Im using wonderful Airset. We view each others calendars by subscribing to iCal feeds. Not a very good system , and seems a bit flaky at the Google end of the deal. Refresh time is an issue for both of us.
To my way of thinking it makes sense that we are both on Airset. However, presumably to share calendar information immediately I suspect we would need to be on one Airset account, as having our own accounts, the top level personal calendar isn't shareable ( unless as an ical subscription, and then Im back to square one on the refresh time).
Because we both deal with confidential information, I don't really want us both to have all our respective data under one Airset account. If we have an account each, it seems the only way I can ensure we both see each others personal calendar would be to take them out of the top level web computer, and set up a regular web computer that has the ability to invite others to join / share. keeping our private contacts and files etc in the top level group. This feels a little lame to me.
Can anyone suggest a better idea for us to have independent Airset accounts, but be able to share top level calendar......or better still a more elegant solution / set of strategies for independent professional work freelancers, that share family and private life!
Many thanks

Inappropriate?Hi Mark, First, you definitely want separate accounts for each person under your own emails. From what you have described, the best solution would be to create a web computer for the two of you to share. After creating this web computer, each of you should do a full calendar share from your Personal AirSet computer calendar to the shared web computer. This will combine both of your events on the shared web computer. With the new Legend, each calendar will be selectable.

Inappropriate?Hi Brian
Thanks the advice, that all made sense.
I had a small issue, but resolved by reading other questions here on getsatisfaction, of not understanding how to import a .ics file into a new sub calendar. In the end I set up a new "dummy" web computer, imported the .ics file into that, and then used the new migrate option to move into my real web computer as a new sub calendar.
A bit of fiddling, and everything is colour coded the way my partner recognises her old Google calendars, so I'm hoping her transition will be painless into Airset.
An observation: the route I used to create sub calendars seem's a bit "round the houses". Perhaps an option to import .ics ( or any calendar file) into a web computer as a sub calendar directly would be more intuitive?
Also ( I never noticed before ) but it is very clever the way a shared calendar doesn't display duplicated information from other calendars ( like national holidays that I have set up in a number of calendars as an external look up), nice!
Thanks
