Calendar feeds allow you to subscribe to absence data without creating events directly in your calendar. Instead, the feed appears as a separate calendar that you can overlay alongside your existing calendar.

You don’t need IT configuration once calendar feeds are enabled.

Enable calendar feeds

Calendar feeds must be enabled on your account before use.

  • If you already use TSOS:

    • Raise a support case to enable calendar feeds and remove TSOS.

  • If your account has no calendar sync set up:

    • Initial setup must be completed by a consultant.

    • Contact your account manager to arrange this.

Once enabled, the Calendar Sync section will appear in My Admin for all users.
