Teamwork Project Manager

How do I subscribe to the calendar using Google Calendar?

On your Teamwork Project Manager Calendar page, right-click the iCal link and choose copy.

From the options menu click "Add by URL" and paste your Teamwork Project Manager iCal link into the dialog that appears, click "Add Calendar" when you are done.

Can I import a calendar into Teamwork Project Manager?

My Google Calendar is slow to update with new events, why?

Google Calendar syncs from external calendars roughly every 3 hours.

It uses caching to make the whole service more efficient and unfortunately there is no way of forcing it to refresh.

Removing and adding your calendar to Google Calendar will not solve the issue.

Can I subscribe to my Calendar using Outlook?

Yes. You can add a calendar to Outlook 2007 using the iCal link.

A full document explaining this can be downloaded here

Please Note:

Only Outlook 2007 and newer editions can subscribe to iCal calendars. Outlook 2003 can be extended using 3rd party extensions to consume iCal feeds,
