Event Imports

Event Manager allows you to add events from other calendars using its import feature. Event imports can be configured in one of two ways:

  • A One Time Import where you select a file from your computer or network to upload. A One Time Import is best used for events that will not be changed or managed in another application.
  • A Persistent Import where a URL is called by the application to trigger a download of events. This option is best used for events that will be changed or managed in another application outside of Event Manager.

 

       Bright Idea:

Before importing events, we recommend reviewing the best practices and formatting guidelines to ensure a successful import.
