Google Calendar “working location” feature being turned off

Starting December 16, the “working location” feature in Google Calendar will no longer be available due to inconsistent use. Please continue to share your working location, but instead use the Calendar Event feature to ensure that your location is complete for each event. If you work in one location all day (e.g. office based staff), simply create a calendar event and name the working location as the event title. If you have any questions, talk with your supervisor or the Tech Help Desk. Examples of how to update your calendar are provided below.

Incorrect Example:

Old Google Cal feature

The old “working location” feature – this will not be available on Google Calendars beginning December 16.

Correct Example:

Virtual services - all day event

Be sure to update your Google Calendar to reflect your working location via all day “Calendar Events.” For example, if you are working from home, create an all-day Google Calendar event that is titled, “Virtual Services.”

CF office – all day event

The same would go if you are at an office – Cedar Falls Office, Clear Lake Office or Marshalltown Office.
