Synchronize Your Calendar
You can synchronize your TrafficLIVE calendar with an external calendar. After you enable synchronization, TrafficLIVE synchronizes calendars automatically every ten minutes, or you can perform a manual synchronization.
To synchronize your TrafficLIVE calendar with your Google, Exchange, or Exchange 365 calendar, complete the following steps:
- Click .
- Select the Enable Calendar Sync check box in the Calendar Settings pane.
- Choose the external calendar that you want to synchronize with your TrafficLIVE calendar from the External Calendar Type drop-down: Google, Exchange, or Exchange 365.
-
Enter the appropriate values in the fields that appear, depending on your calendar type selection:
- Exchange — Login, Password, Exchange Server URL.
- Exchange 365 — Login, Password.
- Google — Click the Authentication button in the OAuth 2.0 Authentication field. Your browser opens to the Google login page. Log in as you usually do. When you see the message that TrafficLIVE wants to manage your calendars, click Accept.
- Accept the default value Company Default or choose another option from the Time Zone drop-down.
-
Do
one or both of the following to control the behavior of the calendar synchronization:
- Select the Sync Allocations check box if you want to replicate your TrafficLIVE task allocations (green, job-related tasks on your calendar) on your external calendar.
- Select the Sync Booked Time (two-way) check box if you want to replicate your external calendar items that are not job-related on your TrafficLIVE calendar. These entries are known as booked time, and they appear as yellow blocks. This check box is the recommended setting and is selected as the default. Note that if you continue to create booked time entries manually in TrafficLIVE, these bookings will also be replicated in your external calendar, which is why "two-way" is included in this setting name.
- Set values for the Logged Time Min. Duration, Time Slot Min. Duration, and Drag/Drop Snap Duration fields as appropriate.
- Click Update Settings in the lower-right corner of the page. The next time that you go to the My Calendar page, the Sync button at the bottom of the page is enabled. You can click the Sync button to manually synchronize your TrafficLIVE calendar with the external calendar that you selected. Otherwise, TrafficLIVE will synchronize your calendars automatically every ten minutes.
