Is it possible to create a shared calendar for specific users instead of teams? There are many times when I need to see calendars for multiple users who do not share teams. Creating teams to fix the calendar would require constant work because there would need to be teams for every combination of users.
Similarly, the modes in shared calendars do not work the same way as the timeline and, unfortunately, the timeline is not available as a mode for shared calendars. For example, hidden events do not appear on shared timelines. Here is an example with a hidden event (the users are on the same team, but the hidden event does not have a team. TLM and SLM0 are attendees while TLM1 is not), which does not appear on the shared calendar.
Timeline:
Shared (week mode):
This presents a major problem for scheduling multiple users because you can't see their combined availability unless you use Timeline mode, which isn't customizable. We have too many users to list them all on one timeline, so the only way to work around this is to sync calendars with Outlook. Outlook allows you to view calendars side by side for individual users in any mode.
Outlook with individual calendars selected:
Espo's shared calendar in week mode (top) and timeline mode (bottom), the latter of which is not available in shared calendars:
However, it is obviously possible to customize the list of timeline users because it is available in the meeting modal:
If it is possible to create a shared timeline on a per-user basis, that would solve every issue with large organizations. Showing side-by-side events in the Day and Week modes would also be an extremely useful feature.
