Calendar Settings is the org-wide configuration page for how calendars behave — whether users can share calendars, view-only access for managers, hover details on the home page. Per-user view preferences live in personal settings; org-wide defaults live here.
- Open Setup → Calendar Settings
Setup gear → Quick Find: Calendar Settings → Calendar Settings.
- Tick Enable User Calendar Sharing
When ON, users can share their personal Calendar with others — view-only or with edit. Off by default in some orgs for privacy.
- Tick Enable Home Page Hover Links for Events
When ON, hovering an event on Home shows a tooltip preview. Lightweight UX improvement.
- Configure default Calendar View
Day / Week / Month / List. Drives the default landing view for new users.
- (Optional) tick Cloud Scheduler options
Cloud Scheduler is being retired in newer Salesforce releases — replaced by Lightning Scheduler. Don't enable for new deployments.
- Save
Settings apply org-wide. Existing user preferences override the org default where they conflict.
Whether users can share their personal calendars.
Tooltip previews on Home for upcoming events.
Day / Week / Month / List.
Legacy meeting-request feature. Being retired.
- Public Calendars and Resources are configured separately at Setup → Public Calendars and Resources. Calendar Settings governs personal user calendars; Public Calendars is for shared org-wide calendars.
- Cloud Scheduler is deprecated. New scheduling features should use Lightning Scheduler or Salesforce Scheduler instead.
- Per-user view preferences (set via Personal Settings) override the org default. Changing the org Default Calendar View doesn't update existing users — only affects new ones.
