Using the internet calendar integration you can add Items or Facility booking activity into your Google calendar.  This will automatically update in Google calendar* and provide a read-only view of bookings.  

Step 1 - Get the iCal URLs you need

iCAL urls are located in 3 different areas of SchoolBooking

My Profile - Use the iCal URL here to view all of 'your' bookings in Google calendar
Lettings - Facility Manager - check the facilities individually to find the iCal URL
Bookings - Item Manager - select an Item, for more settings

When you have found your iCal(s) copy the URL or save a list ready to add into Google.

Step 2 - Add internet calendar in Google

Go to Calendar in Google, and under 'Other Calendars' select Add, and choose From URL


Now Paste the ical URL you need from Step 1, and select 'Add Calendar'

Google will indicate the calendar has been added and you will see the new calendar which you can now select.  

Depending on your settings this may not have a recognisable name.  You will probably want to change to the Facility name.  Click on the three vertical dots next the calendar and choose Settings

* Google inbound icalendar refresh interval has recently changed so some changes can take upto between 24-48hrs to update.  If you this refresh interval is not fast enough we recommend the use of a 3rd party calendar app called teamup.com
