I want to create and either share or publish (haven't figured that out yet) a statewide list (by county) of foreclosure sales scheduled for a given month for two different law firms (I will pay my account fee and thiers just to improve my life and get these 2 law firms to co-ordinate my sales WITHOUT talking to each other) but ...here's my question - can I register thier "domain name" as a registered user ? each law firm has multiple people that will need to look at my calender on any given day (and make changes)
under your fee schedule @ $ 40 per "user" - would I have to buy an account for each and every employee of both law firms (that would make it cost prohibitive - with a side note that the larger law firm of the 2 rotates/changes employees every couple of months) OR
can I just pay for "anyuser@lawfirm1.com" and "anyuser@lawfirm2.com"
I've looked at your site (found you through Microsoft Office) and pretty much like it (although I think your color-coding needs MAJOR improvement - Outlook gives me color-coded labels I can customize...that's a second question - if I import or sync yours with mine in Outlook what will happen to my color-coded lables that tell me what area of the state I have to be in that day)
Can't afford this if it's going to cost me $ 400+ instead of $ 120

Hi Cathy,
Thanks for taking a look at Trumba and welcome to the forums. First, yes, you could use those email addresses to sign up for your accounts. When you sign up, we send a verification email to make sure it's a valid address and that someone who owns that address can confirm requesting the account. So if the real owner of the address knows what you're up to and can verify the account, it's all fine.
Next, you can have multiple editors for each account. Our only caution to people in this situation is to not have multiple people signing in to the same account at the same time.
About the Outlook categories, many people have wanted to keep them in Trumba, but unfortunately there's no equivalent in Trumba, so CalendarSync ignores them during the sync process. We're working right now on improving our event categorization/labeling. But I don't know yet whether that will lead to CalendarSync recognizing Outlook categories.
I can give you a few options for how to organize the info into accounts, and hopefully one of them will seem like the obvious choice. I'll break it into "options available depending on how many accounts you get" paragraphs.
• One account
You can do this if you're ok with people from both firms having the same sign in name and password, as well as edit access to ALL of the calendars. You could maintain a separate calendar for each person or category and then publish them all mixed together. Or you could simply create a calendar inside the account for the mixed-in view and not worry about publishing.)
• Two accounts
In this scenario, each firm could have edit rights to its calendars and share them out to the other account with view only access (I'm just assuming view only -- they can of course give whatever access they want). As an alternative to sharing, each firm could publish their calendars so that the other firm could see and subscribe to them. Sharing seems like easier choice here, though.
• Three accounts
Here, you would be the über-admin, and each firm would have their own account. You would create all of the calendars and share them as appropriate to each of the firms. Then the people in the firms would sign in to their respective accounts and edit the calendars. This is probably the safest option, because you would own everything and wouldn't be at risk of someone leaving a firm and running off with the calendars. (I know that might sound paranoid, but it has happened!)
I hope this helps. I can't tell if you want the two law firms to not have to talk to each other, or if you don't want to talk to either of them yourself, but good luck achieving either! Let us know if you have other questions.
