Example of Including and Excluding Calendar Event Coverage in a Hierarchy

You want to apply the New Phone System Training calendar event to everyone in your enterprise except those people working in the Support department.

When an event applies to most of a hierarchy, it's most efficient to include the whole hierarchy in the coverage. Then, you can exclude the exceptions. So you include your enterprise, which also includes the departments in that organization hierarchy, such as Sales and Finance. Then, you exclude the departments that the calendar event doesn't apply to, such as the Support department.
