Sharing Journal Information

Because the Outlook 2007 journal keeps track of activities using a timeline, you might find that it is one of the most useful of the Outlook 2007 folders to share. If you’re working on a project with several people, a shared Outlook 2007 Journal folder might be just what you need to make certain everyone is on track.

If you and all the people with whom you want to share the Journal folder use Microsoft Exchange Server, you can share the Journal folder as a public folder on the computer running Exchange Server.

Follow these steps to share a personal Journal folder:

  1. In Outlook 2007, open the Folder List.

  2. Right-click the Journal folder, and then choose Change Sharing Permissions to open the Permissions tab of the Journal Properties dialog box, as shown in Figure 23-19.

    Share a Journal folder by using the Permissions tab in the Journal Properties dialog box.

  3. Click Default, and then select options in the Permissions area to specify the types of tasks all users can perform if they have no explicit permissions set.

  4. Click Add to open the Add Users dialog box, select a user (or more than one), click Add, and then click OK to return to the Permissions tab.

  5. With the user selected in the Name list, select permissions in the Permissions area to specify the tasks that the user can perform. You can select a Permission Level and then customize the permissions as needed.

  6. Click OK to apply the permissions.

Note

For details about sharing folders, see "Granting Access to Folders" in Chapter 35.

If you want to invite specific people to share your journal, you can send them an e-mail message to let them know that you have granted them permission to view your journal. You can also request to share their journals as part of this message. The permissions that you set control the types of access that will be allowed. The recipients of the message can accept or decline the invitation to share your journal and also decide whether to share their journals with you.

To invite someone to share your journal, follow these steps:

  1. In Outlook 2007, open the Folder List.

  2. Right-click the Journal folder, and then choose Share "Journal" to create a Sharing Invitation e-mail message.

  3. Select the recipients, and then click Send to send the message.

  4. If the recipients share their journals with you, there will be an Open This Journal option on the Sharing tab of the Ribbon. When you view another person’s journal, a new group named People’s Journals is created in the Navigation Pane, and a link to the other journal is added to it.
