Share your schedule

Subscribe to your MyTime schedule from a private calendar, for example Outlook calendar or Google calendar, to help manage your work-life balance. Share the link with someone else to give them access to your schedule.

NOTE   Subscribing to your calendar from a calendar app gives the calendar app the possibility to load your schedule from MyTime. How often the calendar app loads the schedule depends on the calendar app and cannot be changed in MyTime. This means that if your schedule is changed, it might take time before this change is shown in your calendar app, if it only loads changes for example once a day.

Prerequisites

  • You have the MyTime > Share calendar permission.
