Calendar sync

To support users in planning work and private appointments, shifts can be synchronized to calendars of other applications. The calendar synchronization service sends all planned and tentatively planned shifts of the current month and a year into the future to the private calendar.

Supported calendar applications are Google, Outlook and Apple.

The following data is shared:

• Shift name
• Date
• End time
• Start time

This functionality supports users in planning work-life balance. In the first days of the current month, shifts in the previous month disappear from the calendar, as the past is not needed for planning purposes. Past shifts remain accessible in the ESS7-app.

The application the calendar is shared with collects this data at intervals. Depending on the interval the calendar application uses it may take 6 to 24 hours before the other application has processed changes.
