Keep track of your Academy deadlines by syncing the Learning solution calendar with your Google calendar, Apple calendar, Outlook calendar, or any calendar with the capability to subscribe by URL.
Navigation: UKG Learning > Learner Workspace > Training > Calendar
- Select the gear icon. A pop-up window opens.
- Select Calendar preferences to choose which day of the week you calendar begins on, and if weekends are shown.
- Select a day from the drop-down list to use as the first day of the week. The default is Monday.
- Select the Show Weekends checkbox to show Saturday and Sunday on the calendar.
- Select Calendar sync. This option takes you to your personal settings (Profile Picture > Settings > Integrations).
- Select the elements you would like to sync from the drop-down menu and connect the two calendars. You can sync several entities such as Virtual Events, In-Class Trainings, Due Dates, Expiration Dates, and more. You can then associate it with a specific calendar if you're subscribed to more than one.
Google and Outlook calendars are officially supported by the integration.
Apple calendar, unfortunately, is not available currently. However, the Other external calendar provider option is available, and should work for most other calendar services.
In this case, you should first select the items that you want to sync and then select the Copy button.
Sync with Apple Calendar
- Open Apple Calendar.
- Select File.
- Select New Calendar Subscription.
- Paste the link you previously copied from the Learning solution in the Calendar URL field.
- Select Subscribe.
- Edit the Calendar's options. We recommend setting auto-refresh to Every five minutes
- Select OK.
Note:
- When you enable the calendar sync option, Learning initiates the sync process, allowing for real-time updates to your Google and Outlook calendars.
- If you choose to disconnect your integration with your personal calendar by selecting the Disconnect button, only upcoming events will be removed. Past events remain unless you manually remove them from the list before disconnecting.
- If you prefer not to sync certain types of items (for example, Registered to Virtual event), but would like to add a specific event to your calendar, you can do so directly from the relevant event notification by selecting your preferred calendar option.
Selecting one of the calendar options will take you into your academy, and automatically add the event to your calendar. If you have yet to connect that calendar, you will first be asked to do so.
