Export Your Calendar

To export you calendar, from the calendar screen, click on the Export button and select Export for Outlook/iCal.

Click on the download.

Select the destination calendar and click on OK.

Sync Calendar

The Sync to Calendar option helps you stay on top of your events, milestones, and tasks with due dates by syncing them to calendars like Google Calendar, iCal, some versions of Outlook, and any calendar that allows you to subscribe by URL.

What do I need to know about it?

In order to use MangoApps Sync to Calendar, your calendar application must support iCalendar (Webcal) feeds.
Calendar Sync is one-way: updates to your calendar will not be reflected in MangoApps. You can see the items from MangoApps on your calendar, but you’ll need to use MangoApps to add or edit it.
Webcal feeds will include only items with due dates.
Webcal feeds will not include items marked as completed.
Calendaring services update at different frequencies, so due date changes may take a short while to appear on your calendar.
If subscriptions do not work, change webcal:// to http:// in the beginning of the subscription address.
iCalendar addresses are not password-protected, so be careful when sharing links to your calendar.

To sync you calendar, click on the Export button. Click on Sync with Outlook/Google Calendar.

Select if you want to use Webcals. If you are using a Mac, you should select this option.

Next, select the calendar items you want to include in your sync. Then, click on Copy Link and Close.

Now, paste the copied link into your browser.

Select Add

The MangoApps calendar is now added to your calendar. It can be accessed from the left hand side menu.

What is the difference between sync your calendar & export calendar?

Export calendar will export all the calendar items that can be imported into your Outlook or iCal. However, the export calendar option needs to be updated periodically by exporting then importing items into your calendar. Unlike exporting your calendar, syncing your calendar will provide updates automatically.

Create an Event

With MangoApps Calendar, users can now quickly schedule meetings, setup team events, plan company events and create appointments. For all the events you create you get reminders, so you always know what’s next.

MangoApps events are an easy way to invite employees, customers, and partners to attend a get-together, or schedule something in advance so that MangoApps users are notified. Any meeting that needs an RSVP or guest list, can be made into a MangoApps event.

From the calendar, click on Calendar Tools and select Create an Event.
