1) Overview
Electronic calendars are generally available through external email services (such as gmail or outlook). These calendars assist users to plan their days and schedule activities. Electronic calendars also allow users to add information from an external source (calendars of co-workers or friends).
Subscribing to the roster using an ical link, automatically adds roster shifts into your electronic calendar. Your roster is kept up to date in your calendar by automatically updating with published shifts, at a defined update interval (most calendar applications allow this interval to be set).
Users can also create a calendar link for their clients and instructions for this can be found below. This link can communicate important information to clients such as the time of their visit and the person that will be attending. This same link can also be used by family or friends of the client so they are also aware of when shifts take place.
NOTE: A group selection can be adjusted to only show roster shifts from certain roles, areas or sites that you manage.
The following is an example of how your roster will look in an electronic calendar:
Day view
NOTE:
Refresh interval: It is the responsibility of the calendar application to pull new data from Easy Employer. In some calendar applications you can control the interval it updates, or you can perform a refresh or send and receive to pull new data to your calendar from Easy Employer.
Display: Easy Employer cannot control how the entries are displayed in the application.
2) Create an electronic calendar link for Rosters
