Offline version of Google Calendar available for all

After Google Calender on Google Aps goes offline last month, finally the offline version of Google Calender is made available for all users.

What you need to do to bring your Google Calendar offline:

To enable offline Calendar access, sign in to Google Calendar and look for the “Offline Beta” link in the upper right-hand corner of your account, next to your username. We’ve released this early and are still ironing out some kinks, so if you encounter any issues, be sure to let us know. If you access Calendar through the Premier or Education Editions of Google Apps, your domain administrator will first have to elect to turn on new features from the Domain Settings page of the Google Apps control panel.

Users of Google Calendar in Google Apps can now bring their Google Calendar offline. But unlike Offline Gmail than run with half functionality (you can star, label, compose and reply email) even when they disconnected from internet (it will be sent later once connected), Offline Calendar only let you view the existing schedule and events, but not edit them.

To enable this feature, sign in to your Google Apps’s Calendar, and click the ‘Offline Beta‘ link available on the upper right-hand corner of your account (screen shot below)

The feature availability depend on the version you use. Google Apps Standard Edition (free version that I use) users  has this feature available immediately.

But Premier and Education Edition users has to wait the domain administrators to first check the box next to ‘Turn on new features‘ in the ‘Domain Settings‘ page of the Google Apps control panel before they can enable this option.

Unfortunately, this feature has yet available for ordinary Google account’s Calendar. Maybe soon??
