Who can do this?
All users and access levels
Practitioners on Personal Access only have access to their own calendars. Administrators do not have their own calendars but have access to all practitioner calendars.
If you wish to view your Halaxy appointments on an external calendar, you can sync your Halaxy calendar to your iPhone, Outlook and Google calendar, or any other calendar that uses the iCal format*. Any updates made to your Halaxy calendar will automatically update in your external calendar.
One-way calendar syncing is available to all practitioners on Halaxy for free. It enables you to see your patient appointments on your other calendars on the go, even when you do not have access to your computer or when you're not logged into your Halaxy account.
*iCal is a file format that allows people to share calendar events across online calendar applications.
