Synchronization

Transpose time block to another calendar

You sometimes want an event not to appear in another calendar but for the time to be blocked so that nobody schedules anything there. For instance, you could have a personal errand. By transposing the time to your professional calendar, you would be sure that nobody will put anything at this time.
