Staff Leave lets you export your calendar using a live data feed to a third-party calendar that supports iCal files. As data changes in Staff Leave, it will automatically update your third-party calendar. You will see different export options depending on your user status.
Good to Know: iCal Data feeds are live (if queried every
30 minutes of the last data hit),
however please bare in mind that some calendar providers don't refresh our
data as often as you may need, with Google Calendar refreshing every few
hours. Repeated data hits to our iCal feeds will be cached, so we recommend
querying every 30 minutes or more.
