To do this, go to the Schedule tab and click the Arrow in the top right corner of the blue Add shift button. Then click on Calendar synchronization.
Employees can also synchronize their schedule by going to the My Schedule tab through the Dashboard, below the schedule is a grey Calendar Sync button visible.
Both ways will bring up the screen below.
Clicking on Add new schedule will take you to the next screen.
Enter the name of the new calendar here, and select what you want to synchronize. You have the choice of:
-
