Share it by link (no login drama) so everyone can make smart decisions fast. ### See everything before the chaos hits Get the full picture of your clinic staff schedule, room bookings and closures before the day goes sideways. Spot conflicts, find gaps, and keep the clinic running smoothly—no nasty surprises. ### Visual scheduling that actually makes sense Make each shift type, room and team pop with colors and tags in your clinic calendar. Spot trouble before it finds you and fix the rota before patients notice. ### All your tools playing nice together Add a public-holiday feed, or a team calendar from Outlook or Google through its .ics link, and it shows read-only next to the clinic's own events. No more playing calendar hopscotch. ### Control who sees what (finally!) Keep a calendar private or visible to the whole organization, and set exactly who can edit your clinic calendar and who just gets to look. Links can be view-only or allow editing. ### Learn from your scheduling wins Look back over past months of the rota to see which shift patterns and room plans actually worked, and plan the next season from real history instead of just guessing. ## When Virto Shared Calendar fits — and when it does not | Real-life scenario | Best fit | Why it works | | --- | --- | --- | | Staff rotas across specialties and locations — A small practice that plans the rota in a spreadsheet or on a whiteboard. | Virto Shared Calendar | Add each shift as an event and tag it by specialty and location, so a gap in cover or a doctor booked at two sites on the same day is visible at once. | | Treatment rooms and shared equipment | Virto Shared Calendar | Block rooms and devices such as the ultrasound unit as events tagged by room, so a session planned into a room already in use shows before the day starts. Record what the room is used for, not who the patient is. | | Clinic hours, closures and public holidays | Virto Shared Calendar | Add opening hours and closures as recurring or single events and a public-holiday feed for your region, so everyone plans around the same days. | | Locums, temp staff and visiting specialists | Virto Shared Calendar | Send a view-only or edit link. They open the staff calendar in a browser or on a phone with no Microsoft account and no login. | | Patient appointments and records | Your practice-management or EHR system | Virto Shared Calendar stores its events on Microsoft Azure, hosted by VirtoSoftware, and shares by link, so keep patient names and health information out of it. Patient appointments, bookings and records stay in your practice-management or EHR system. | | Department rotas in SharePoint lists and room mailboxes — A larger clinic already keeps rotas and leave requests in SharePoint lists and books rooms through room mailboxes. | Virto Calendar App M365 | Virto Shared Calendar keeps its own events and reads iCal feeds, not SharePoint lists or mailboxes. Overlaying those sources, and approving leave requests in the calendar, is what Virto Calendar App does. | ## Related products Explore how our set of productivity tools can transform your task management - [Virto Shared Calendar](https://www.virtosoftware.com/microsoft-teams/virto-teams-shared-calendar/): Virto Shared Calendar is a standalone web app and Microsoft Teams-integrated solution designed for simple event management with tagging, color-coding, and anonymous sharing. - [Virto Calendar App](https://www.virtosoftware.com/microsoft-teams/virto-calendar-app/): Maximize efficiency with this calendar app, featuring comprehensive scheduling and customizable views. - [Virto Calendar App M365](https://www.virtosoftware.com/microsoft-365/virto-calendar-overlay-app/): Consolidate events from SharePoint, Exchange, Google, and more into one calendar view for simplified planning. - [Virto Alerts & Reminder App](https://www.virtosoftware.com/microsoft-365/virto-alerts-and-reminders-app/): Integrated within your daily tools like Microsoft Teams, the app ensures you stay ahead of all tasks and meetings. ## Related use cases Discover our range of use cases to take your planning and coordination to another level ![Availability Calendar](https://www.virtosoftware.com/images/use-cases/availability-calendar.webp) ### Availability Calendar Virto Calendar App draws every team member's calendar in one Outlook view — busy time, vacations and shared meetings, under the permissions each source already has. ![Sprint Calendar](https://www.virtosoftware.com/images/use-cases/sprint-calendar.webp) ### Sprint Calendar Stay in sync and sprint with style: planning, stand-ups, reviews and retros in one shared sprint calendar, color-coded, in a browser or in Microsoft Teams, and shared by link with the whole team. ![Customer Support Schedule](https://www.virtosoftware.com/images/use-cases/customer-support-schedule.webp) ### Customer Support Schedule One shared rota for on-call shifts, PTO and night rotations, tagged by tier.
