calendar (not one for each project) in google calendar, so we could
take the ical adress (just one time) and configure it in outlook.
One time for each member of the team.<br>
Imagine configure ical for each project in each outllook of the
members.<br>

<p>Have you tried this idea yourself? Did it work ok?</p>

pretty well.</p>
<p>I would try in Dooster if I could, but I don´t know
how.</p>
<p>To have one only project is not a reasonable solution.</p>
<p>How can I try then?</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>

<p>One of our guys has looked into this and reported</p>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>I can think of two potential solutions to this issue.</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>1) We offer direct iCal support in Dooster. Essentially we need
to be able to provide them with an iCal feed so they can plug this
in to Outlook, and Outlook would read this to sync events from
Dooster.</p>
<p>If my understanding is correct this means that the link is only
"one way" though, with Dooster sending event details to Outlook,
but Outlook can't send events to Dooster (From what I've read this
is also the case with Google -> Outlook)</p>
<p>[OSCAR is that correct ? Google -> Outlook is only one way?
]</p>
<p>2) We implement an option to sync the user's combined calendar
to Google instead of individual ones. This would be enabled in the
Google Account Settings page on Dooster, and when selected would
create one calendar on Google which contains all of the events from
the user's Dooster account, as opposed to a calendar per project as
we have it at the moment. This should solve the problem, and I can
imagine this feature might be desirable for people with a lot of
projects.</p>
<p>Oscar what do you think?</p>
<p>thanks</p></div>Johntag:dooster.tenderapp.com,2011-05-09:Comment/191563892012-10-03T20:18:46Z2012-10-03T20:18:46ZSync with google calendar and Microsoft outlook<div><p>Hi, sincerely I like very much you take seriously your customers
issues...</p>
<p>Trying to answer:</p>
<p>You say:<br>
" If my understanding is correct this means that the link is only
"one way" though, with Dooster sending event details to Outlook,
but Outlook can't send events to Dooster (From what I've read this
is also the case with Google -> Outlook)</p>
<p>[OSCAR is that correct ? Google -> Outlook is only one way?
]"</p>
<p>In google -> Outlook, I think it depends on how you set up
google sync. You can configure it "both updates". I think (you can
easily check it).</p>
<p>In your 1) option, I think Dooster calendar wont update with
outlook own events, but it is a pretty easy and simple solution, I
think it has many pros to people who use to work with outlook as
their preferred mail and general app.</p>
<p>I think is a good solution to mac users of icalendar.</p>
<p>But I have a very big question about this 1) solution; will it
create one calendar in outlook per project? That would be really a
bad solution. If you are able to create just one global calendar,
then this would be a good solution-</p>
<p>Solution 2) is good to people who is used to work with google
calendar, but makes a little bit difficult the process to people
who only works with outlook. "Many steps".</p>
<p>The best solution... may be give both solutions. The second
best, with the 1) you can link with google as well (and even later
between google and outlook if you one to work with both), but with
only one side updates.</p>
<p>But, definitely, anyway, don´t create one calendar per
project...</p></div>Oscar Ramiro - Art Meeting Placetag:dooster.tenderapp.com,2011-05-09:Comment/191563892012-10-03T21:02:07Z2012-10-03T21:02:07ZSync with google calendar and Microsoft outlook<div><p>OK thanks Oscar</p>
