Highlights
Working with sub-calendars
Sub-calendars are the heart of a Teamup calendar. They work as individual calendars, but are contained within your master calendar. They allow you to sort and organize all the information you need to keep on the calendar in clear visual structure. Sub-calendars have access control, automatic conflict prevention, and color-coding built in. Learn more about how to set up a calendar structure and make good use of all the features that sub-calendars offer.

Coordinate every layer of rental operations
Running a rental operation means managing several different types of scheduling at once: delivery windows, pickup times, equipment availability, staff assignments, and return inspections. Each piece has its own timing, its own people, and its own details to track. A shared master calendar that provides an immediate visual overview of the whole operation. Sub-calendars organize and color-code events while custom fields provide additional layers of scheduling information.

Interactive demos + power tips
Show who’s involved with events
On a shared calendar, one of the first questions that comes up in day-to-day work is simple: Who is involved with this event? The question might be slightly different depending on the context, but providing clarity about each event and who’s assigned, involved, or in charge is important. Here are three practical ways to show who is involved with events on a shared Teamup calendar.
Manage short-term, granular bookings
When you’re managing bookings in tight increments, standard calendar views usually aren’t precise enough. But Teamup’s Scheduler view is built for this kind of task. Each resource is displayed in its own column, so availability is instantly visible and clearly organized. And because the time resolution can be adjusted, it works just as well for tightly packed, short-term bookings as it does for longer sessions. Learn more.
Create a simple approval system
Turn your calendar into a lightweight approval system. Requests are submitted as events, reviewed by the people in charge, and only added to the main schedule once they’re approved. By structuring your calendar with the right sub-calendars and access permissions, you create a clear and visible process, without adding extra tools or complexity. Learn more.
Automatically prevent overlapping events
One of the most powerful features built into Teamup sub-calendars is the ability to automatically prevent double-bookings. This demo shows how to set it up.
