Add External Calendars

Learn how to quickly add industry RDOs, public holidays and more to your AroFlo calendar.

Updated on May 24th, 2024

You can add calendars from government or industry bodies to your AroFlo calendar so that important external dates display automatically.

 

  • Easily add public holidays, industry RDOs, or even your favorite team's game dates
  • Display external dates as all-day events or just as handy reminders at the top of the day
  • No need to update external calendars - it all happens behind the scenes.
 

 

Choose an external calendar

To add an external calendar to your AroFlo calendar:

 

  1. From the main menu, click Calendar.
  2. Select the Calendar View you want to add the external calendar to.
  3. Click the (three dots) icon to open the calendar settings.
  4. Click the Calendars tab.
  5. Click Add Calendars.
  6. Select a category from the list on the left, and click the checkbox beside the individual calendar(s) you want to display. Click the X to close the search window. 

    You can choose colors for your all-day events by clicking on the checkboxes in the Background, Border, and Text columns.

     
  7. Click Done.
 

 

Decide on a display

By default, events added from external calendars will display as all-day events and will take up the whole column, as shown in our image.

If you prefer to have your external calendar events display at the top of the day only, as shown in our main image at the top of this page:

  1. Click the Settings (three dots) icon for the Calendar View you're working with.
  2. On the Layout tab, click the Show All-Day Slot checkbox.
  3. Click Save.

External dates cannot be moved around like other schedules in your calendar, but you can click on them to view a short description of the event.
