Calendar Subscription

Users can subscribe to receive ongoing updates to event dates and times. There are two places learners can subscribe to calendars: the dashboard (gives access to course calendars) or within a community events page (access to events created within that community only). Faculty can subscribe to a calendar of their teaching events.

Learners can subscribe to or download a calendar from their Dashboard page.

• If CBME is enabled in your organisation, learners can scroll down the page or click 'My Event Calendar' from their dashboard options (by default their dashboard will show their CBME data at the top of the page). Without CBME enabled learners will land on a dashboard page with their calendar upon logging into the system.

• Below the calendar, click 'Subscribe to Calendar or Download Calendar'.

• Click to select All Calendars or Individual Course Calendar. For the second option, indicate the appropriate course using the dropdown menu.

• Click 'Subscribe' to get a version of the calendar that will not allow you to edit events but will update automatically to reflect changes made to the schedule in Elentra. After clicking Subscribe you can click to copy the subscription URL and add it to your calendar tool or click 'Subscribe to Calendar'. Your computer will likely prompt you to choose an application to open the link.

• Click 'Download' to get a version of the calendar that you can edit but that will not automatically update based on changes made within Elentra. (You will be able to re-download the schedule at any time.)

• Click 'Download Calendar'. Your computer will prompt you to choose an application to open the download or you can save the file. If you save the file you can later add it to your preferred calendar tool.

• Events in the calendar will display any required preparation supplied in the event and will include a link to the learning event.

Faculty can subscribe to a calendar that displays the learning events the individual faculty member is associated with.

• From the dashboard, scroll to My Teaching Events and look for the small calendar icon in the bottom right.

• Right click on Subscribe to Calendar.

• Click 'Copy Link Location/Address' or Send Link to Device/Services depending on the browser being used and how you want to subscribe.

• If you click Subscribe to Calendar a file will download to your computer or you many be prompted to open the file with an application. This can provide a file that can be added to a calendar tool but it will provide a static calendar of events.

• There is currently no user interface for faculty to subscribe to individual course calendars.

On a community events page, you can get a static version of the calendar or subscribe to an automatically updating version.

To subscribe to an automatically updating version of the calendar of events, right click on the calendar icon. Click 'Copy Link Location/Address' and paste the link into a subscription feed for your preferred calendar tool.

If you click on the calendar icon your computer may automatically download an ics file or may prompt you to choose an application to open the download or you can save the file. If you save the file you can later add it to your preferred calendar tool. This will provide a static version of the calendar including already created events. You can re-download it later to update your calendar.

Please note that it can take up to 24 hours for any changes made to Events in Elentra to appear on your subscribed calendar (Google Calendar, Outlook, iCalendar).
