The employee's schedule is written to an iCalendar file that is published to the internet. The internet address or URL of the file is shown on the Preferences tab of the employee's Team Xpress User Profile. The employee enters this URL into the calendar application when subscribing to their schedule.

The iCalendar file will be updated periodically with the latest version of the employee's schedule. Tap 'Update iCalendar to iCalendar' to update the file immediately, rather than waiting for the next automatic refresh cycle. This will make the latest schedule available immediately on the web. Note however that the new schedule will be visible in the calendar application only after it the app refreshes its view, either automatically or manually.
You can change the URL of the file by tapping 'Get New URL'. You might want to do this if the URL has become known to others. Note that if you get a new URL then you will have to re-subscribe any calendar applications with the new URL.

Get New URL


The first time the employee goes to the Preferences screen he must do 'Get new URL'. This will generate the unique link for that employee. Using the URL that is originally shown will cause difficulties, because the URL is valid only after pressing 'Get new URL'.

A URL with two slashes next to each other indicates that 'Get new URL' needs to be done.


A NOTE ABOUT EXAMPLES

In the examples, the calendar product may have changed since the time when this user guide was written. The examples should still serve as a general indicator for how to subscribe.
