In today's fast-paced world, keeping track of work orders and events can be a challenging task. Fortunately, there's a convenient solution that can simplify your scheduling and organization. You can now synchronize work orders and events for any user seamlessly with Google Calendar or other Calendar apps using a third-party integration. This integration offers a user-friendly way to consolidate all your essential information in one place, making your daily tasks more efficient and manageable.
If you're eager to give this integration a try, follow the steps outlined below:
1. Open the Users List: Start by accessing your user list within your chosen platform or application.
2. Right-Click on a User: Select a specific user from the list that you'd like to synchronize work orders and events for. This can also be a helper if you're managing a team of users.
3. Choose Detailed View: Right-click on the selected user or helper and choose the "Detailed View" option.
4. Click on [iCal] Button: In the Detailed View, locate and click on the "[iCal]" button. A pop-up window will appear, containing a unique link.
5. Copy the Link: Copy the link provided in the pop-up window. This link holds the key to connecting your user's information with Calendar.
For Google Calendar
6. Open Google Calendar: Launch your Google Calendar application or access it through a web browser.
7. Add the Calendar from URL: Within Google Calendar, navigate to the "Other calendars" section and click on the plus sign (+). From the dropdown menu, select the "From URL" option.
8. Paste the URL: In the field that appears, paste the URL you copied in step 5. After pasting, click the "[Add calendar]" button. If necessary, you can mark the "Make the calendar publicly accessible" checkbox.
9. View Synchronized Calendar: Once added, the Frontu calendar will be visible in the "Other Calendars" section of your Google Calendar. You can select it, and all the events and work orders associated with the user you selected will be displayed.
It's essential to note that the calendar synchronization may not be instantaneous. Google Calendar typically updates within 8-12 hours, so it's not recommended for checking work orders for the same day. However, it's perfect for gaining a comprehensive view of your week or month ahead, allowing for better planning and organization.
For One Calendar
10. Open One Calendar: Launch your One Calendar application.
11. Add the Calendar from URL: Within One Calendar, select Account type "WebCal" section, and in the field that appears, paste the URL you copied in step 5. After pasting, click the "Connect" button and "Done".
12. View Synchronized Calendar: Once added, the Frontu calendar will be visible in the One Calendar.
