The Google Calendar allows for the option to synchronize the Webvantage Calendar with Google Calendar. Calendar syncing (two ways) is automatic through Advantage Services/Google Calendar, which runs on the server and regularly intercepts calendar events.
The syncing occurs through the Employee's Email, User Name and Password. The employee's 'Google' Email address, user name and password must exist in the Advantage Employee maintenance file. The option to synchronize an Employee's calendar with Webvantage calendar is set in Advantage | Maintenance | Accounting | Employee - Alerts & Settings tab.
Appointments created in either calendar are synced incrementally based on the settings in the Advantage Services and are available immediately after that action has occurred. This may require refreshing the Webvantage Calendar page if already open.
Modifications to shared appointments (Edit / Delete) are also synced using the same method.
Appointments in the Webvantage Calendar can only be edited by the employee who they belong to.
