One of the benefits of using Microsoft Outlook is that you can create multiple calendars. You can make a calendar that displays scheduled appointments for work, another for personal reminders or perhaps one to keep track of classes. If your business uses Microsoft Exchange Server, you can even create a group schedule that allows you to view the schedules of a selected group of people. Creating a schedule can make it easier to plan meetings and appointments or even know whether a conference room is in use.
