When to use separate master calendars to manage multiple teams, projects, or locations

When setting up calendars for multiple teams, departments, or uses, do you need more sub-calendars or separate master calendars? 

When you create a Teamup Calendar, what you create is a master calendar. 

In a master calendar, you can:

• Add many sub-calendars.
• Organize them in folder hierarchies.
• Use color-coding, custom event fields, and other features to customize your calendar.
• Set up customized access so each person sees only the sub-calendars relevant to their role. 

In many cases, one master calendar is sufficient for managing your organization which may have multiple teams, properties, projects, or events. 

But in other cases, one master calendar doesn't quite work.

Sometimes using multiple master calendars is the better choice:

• When you want to keep calendar administration entirely separate rather than have a single, centrally managed calendar. For example, if your business has multiple locations and you want each location to manage their own calendar independently, then using separate master calendars is the better choice.
• When you want to have different custom fields on each calendar. Each master calendar can have custom event fields. These fields apply to all sub-calendars. If your separate teams or locations need to use different custom field types to capture certain information and track their unique workflow, using separate master calendars will allow this.
• When you want each calendar to have its own branding and identity. If your organization or business has separate departments with their own brand identities, you may want to use separate master calendars. If each department has its own master calendar, they can customize the look and feel to keep departmental branding consistent.
