Filter by category in OWA: possible?

[Jim Robertson]

I've created a "Favorite Public Folder" calendar for my medical practice
partnership that shows who's on call, who's on vacation, who's away for a
meeting, etc. Altogether I've created about 6 "Activity Type" color-coded
categories.

One of my partners asked if she could customize the view so it shows only
her own activities. I know that in full Office Outlook I can filter the view
by category, so I could add non-color-coded categories for each of our 4
docs, and then she could drill down through the View>Current View>Customize
Current View>Filter by>More options menus/dialogs to get where she wants,
but I don't think this is available in OWA; I suspect the view is even LESS
customizable on mobile devices (hers is a Blackberry, which I think adds a
whole other major wrinkle, because last time I checked, pushing stuff like
this from SBS 2008/Exchange 2007 to the Blackberry platform would create a
drain on our budget because of the need to install a push server for the
Blackberry device itself into SBS/Exchange).

So, 2 questions: can a viewer seeing the calendar on a laptop/deskto via OWA
filter its view by categories?

Second: am I right about the expense of making calendar views available on
the Blackberry?

Thanks so much,
Jim Robertson
