The Comparison panel in Calendar Express is more the availabiltiy info panel.There is no comparison view available in Communication Express.However Check availabitliy window can to used to view the availability information.

Does "check availability" work with group calendars? I don't see that in Comms Express. That's the value of Calendar Express' Comparison View.

If I'm missing something, please suggest how to get the same functionality.

Why would an "upgraded" program (Comms Express) lack features that its predecessor (Calendar Express) had, i.e. Overview and Comparison View

IMO, you are referring to viewing the availablity of Calendar groups, in that case both Calendar Express and comms Express behave the same.

By default for any calendar group, the default calendar will be added in the availabilty panel(Comparison Panel).

Pls ..correct me if I am wrong or I am missing something.

thanks

Ramya states what we've also discovered to be the case in the UWC calendar interface. The issue is that there is no comparison view in the UWC calendar application. There was one in Calendar Express. UWC has a separate Availability applet that can be used to garner the same information, though it requires extra steps in certain important cases (potentially many extra steps).

What we want is part of the Calendar Express comparison facility built into the UWC Availability applet. When you click on Availability, it should assume you want to check (at the very least) availability for the people associated with your current calendar view. If you're viewing a group calendar, all the people in the group should auto-populate the Check Availability invitee list. Can this be done? It seems like a reasonable feature request.
