OUTLOOK
Outlook is a tool for seeing and sharing your schedule with others on your team. When your Outlook account is set up, make sure your calendar is visible to all Sanger staff. There are a number of shared Sanger calendars that you can post to and amend (while inviting your personal calendar.) Ask your supervisor which of these shared calendars you need to subscribe to for your job
A largesse of the emails processed by the SLC are update messages sent from they MyUGS system. While it is important to be aware of the functions and events occurring on MyUGS, a majority of these emails will not pertain to your specific field. As such, setting up an email rule (i.e. filter) on Excel should help reduce the inbox bloat.
To setup the proper rule, click on one of the offending MyUGS emails and select “rules” from the command ribbon. This will generate an inbox filter based around the content found in the email. In general, filtering out the [MyUGS] tag in the subject line will take care of most issues
