      Adding iCal Link to Microsoft Outlook

      Sync your Time-Off™ calendar with your Microsoft Outlook calendar to see upcoming time off alongside your daily appointments, meetings, and reminders.

      Requests: Choose to see only your requests or all requests in your organization

      Comments: Choose whether you want to display the comments associated with time-off requests

      Holidays: Choose whether you want to display the paid holidays your organization observes

      Events: Choose whether you want to display special event days set up for your organization
