Overview
The Import Calendar from ICS field allows a business to import a third-party calendar into StudioCloud. The import function does not prevent double entry of calendar events. In addition, calendars cannot be exported in portions, which means every time a calendar is imported all the events associated with that calendar will show up within StudioCloud.
