This method does not require any login information to work.
Use of Public Calendar Subscription
A public calendar in Workamajig is used to display Company level time events, such as Company-wide Out of Office, public holidays, client visits, etc.
An event created directly on a Workamajig public calendar can be set to block out time (affect Traffic/Resourcing information), Block out individual attendees only or for information only (no block out)
The subscription feed does not allow for this type of differentiation. The calendar will Block Out or Not Block Out all events that are "added" via the subscription feed.
Identify the type of events that are on the Google public calendar and set the Workamajig Subscription calendar accordingly:
- Calendar only contains company out of office days and resources: check Block Out
- Calendar contains staff PTO/OOO days: Uncheck Block Out
