How do I track time using Categories?

[Guest]

I need to keep track of my time spent at different departments in our
company. I keep all of my meetings in Outlook Calendar. Each meeting is
assigned a Category. Is there a way I can track the time spent at each
department by using categories?

You would need to set up a category for each dept and assign it
the category everytime you make an appointment. Then use the
FILTER VIEW to create a view showing only items with that
category. Quite doable.

Slipstick offers some info on this:

Another thought could use the Contacts/Activities method.

Example:

Contact Name: Accounting

- I set up a Meeting for "Accounting" by dragging the
Contact onto the Calendar and setting the time and date.

When I open the Contact named "Accounting" and select the
ACTIVITIES tab, Outlook performs a quick find and brings into
the view, all my activity with Accounting, including the Calendar
entries.
