Hallo.
We are ten consultants working together, but in ten different cities, within two hours driving.
We have a central administration in one of the cities.
We, one by one, organize our time in Outlook.
We want a calender like Trumba where our customers and prospects can put in items, that is, they shall be able to "book" time with a specific consultant, without having to login.
They shall be able to see "busy time" (no details, and only selected categories from our respective Outlook calenders) and "free time", and they shall be able to put in new items.
Each of us ten only have to see his/her own calender, but the central administration have to be able to see all ten consultant-calenders together.
When a customer puts in a new item in a specific calender, the "owner" of the calender, (the specific consultant) wants an email notification (or, in the best of worlds, an Outlook Calender object, by mail).
Is it possible for us to translate the "screens" that the customers will see, into Swedish?
Is this possible using Trumbafor for our needs?
If not, suggestions of "workarounds" ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Lars Byström
Gothenburg, Sweden, Europe.

Hallo Lars Byström,
Thank you for asking about Trumba. It looks to me like Trumba might not be able to do what you're looking for. You can use sharing to give the central administration access to all of your calendars, while you only see your own. However, although sharing and publishing free/busy time is a feature request that we have on our list, I'm afraid I don't know when such a feature will be available. Currently when you create an event, all of its information is visible to people you share your calendar with or who see your published calendar. If you mark an event as private, nothing appears on the other end of sharing or publishing, so it looks like free time. I know that Outlook offers this free/busy sharing, and so does Google calendar. You might also take a look at 30 boxes and Airset. I'm not sure if the latter two support what you want, but it's worth a look. They're both available at no cost.
With Trumba, you also would not be able to translate the screens into Swedish at this time. I don't know of another product that would do this for you.
I'm sorry I can't give you better news. Thanks for looking at Trumba and good luck finding the features you need.
