    Notes: Do not click "No thanks" to skip this box, or you will not be able to add your calendar
    1. Business Name: Choose a business name that describes the purpose this calendar serves. It is very important to pick something other than the exact way your name normally appears as the name of the Business. Otherwise, any duplicate use of names will mean that the entry for your calendar and the entry for your individual or department contacts will look the same in the Outlook address book, and people using the address book to try to contact you won't know which one is correct. You could choose something like Jane Doe-Office Hours for an appointment calendar for instructors and TA's. Or, Academic Advising Appts for Philosophy Majors to take appointments for students needing academic advising in your department. Choose this name carefully as it can only be changed by submitting a ticket to the IT Helpdesk. Any change to the name you make yourself will only affect the display name, not the name in the global address book or the name in the URL for your calendar
    2. Business Type: Enter a brief description such as Instructor Office Hours or Academic Advising
  8. Click Continue
  9. Bookings will set up your calendar and take you to your Bookings homepage. You will receive a confirmation email for your new booking calendar that provides some basic information about managing it
