Syncing Lightning Bolt with External Calendar

Email from Jack Chiu on Jan 6, 2020:

Lightning Bolt supports automatically exporting to other calendars, such as Google Calendar or Outlook. 

It will automatically update the schedule to the external calendar, with a slight delay. They said at least a couple of hours after the schedule has been changed. 

Important note: Due to technical issues, vacation requests (even if granted) do not show up until a schedule has been generated. So you won’t see vacation until around 4 weeks from the current date.

I personally only sync call and off-hour assignments to my own calendar at this point.

Setting up external calendar:

In your Dashboard screen, go to top right corner and click:

Choose “Selected Assignments” and click Edit

Choose the assignments you would like to show up on your calendar.

Do not subscribe to * and – (the top 2 on the list). These are redundant ones, and will clog up your calendar space.

Then you will receive instruction in your email on further set up.
