Configuration

Customize how availability information is imported and handled.

Once you have established a connection between On-Call Optimizer and a calendar product you have the ability to customize which calendars available via the product are scanned for availability information to import.

Accessing calendar configuration

  1. Select Calendars from the side bar
  2. From the list of available connections click the Edit icon at the bottom of the connection you wish to configured.

Calendar selection

Use the toggle button in each row to select whether or not to use each of the calendars as a source of availability information.

When selected, each calendar is regularly checked for any matching availability events and the results are cached for use in future assignments and swaps.

Calendars which are not selected for use are completely ignored by the import process and no information about their events is read or accessed by On-Call Optimizer.

By default only the primary personal calendar associated with the account connecting the calendar to On-Call Optimizer is selected and all other calendars are ignored. Once the connection is established any of the accessible calendars can then be enabled as desired.

Event retention

When a calendar is deselected, or the connection is disconnected, any availability information previously imported from that calendar is removed and will not be used in future assignments.

Previous assignments are not affected by the removal or deselection of a calendar and any availability information used in the assignment of shifts will remain visible in the display history for the assignment.
