My Calendar Settings

The Calendar Settings page controls which calendar items are synchronized with Exchange/Office 365 and how far back in time the calendar syncs. Syncing exports calendar items from the SysAid calendar and importing them into an administrator's Outlook calendar. Items are not imported from Outlook to the SysAid calendar.

Ensure that you save any changes you make to this page.

• Enable Synchronization with the Exchange server - This controls whether or not SysAid will import calendar items into the Outlook of the currently logged in administrator.
• Export the following events to your Outlook Calendar - You can choose individually for each type of calendar item if you would like to import to Outlook or not. (SysAid Events include Group Events.)
• Show Calendar Items starting X Days Ago - This field has two functions:
  • Determines how far back in time data will appear on the SysAid calendar.
  • Determines how far back in time calendar items will be imported into Outlook.

For example, if the number is 30, then you will not see anything older than 30 days on your SysAid calendar, and any changes to due dates, activities, etc. more than 30 days old will not be imported into your Outlook calendar.
Show events relating to service records with "Closed" status class: Check this if you would like activities and due dates from SRs with a closed status class to appear on the SysAid Calendar and in your Outlook (requires Exchange sync). Uncheck this if only open status class items should appear.
