## Prerequisites

## Setting Up Outlook Calendar Integration

### Step 1: Add Outlook Account to Your Device

#### On iPhone/iPad:

1. Open **Settings App** > **Apps** > **Calendar**
2. Tap **Calendar Accounts** > **Add Account**
3. Select **Exchange** or **Outlook**
4. You may need to tap **Open Browser** to open the browser to sign in
5. Follow the prompts to sign in and give your device permission to access your calendar
6. Tap **Save**

#### On Mac:

1. Open **System Settings** > **Internet Accounts**
2. Click **Add Account** > **Generic**
3. Sign in with your calendar credentials
4. Enable **Calendars** in the account settings
5. Click **Done**

### Step 2: Configure Timepage Calendar Settings

Once your Outlook Calendar Account is set up on your device, Timepage will be able to see the list of calendars for that account.

#### On iPhone and iPad:

1. In Timepage go to the **Menu**
2. Tap **Calendars** > **Setup Calendars**
3. Find your Outlook calendars in the list
4. Enable the calendars you want to see in Timepage

### Step 3: Choose Default Calendar and Colors

#### Set Default Calendar:

Tap the **Default Calendar** to choose a different one from the list. You can only choose from visible calendars. When you create a new event in Timepage, it will save it to this calendar unless you change it.

#### Calendar Color Setup:

1. Tap the colored circle next to the Calendar name to choose a new color
2. Choose from different palettes (Mono, Vivid, Pastel, Muted, Dark, Neon)
3. Confirm your selected color by tapping the tick button, or tap Back to retain the existing color

## Troubleshooting Outlook Integration

### Calendar Not Syncing

**Problem**: Outlook events don't appear in Timepage

**Solutions**:

1. Check internet connection
2. Verify Outlook account is properly configured in device settings
3. Ensure Timepage has calendar permissions
4. Try signing out and back into your Outlook account
5. Check if your organization has calendar sync restrictions

### Events Missing or Duplicated

**Problem**: Some events are missing or appear multiple times

**Solutions**:

1. Check calendar visibility settings in Timepage
2. Verify you're not subscribed to the same calendar multiple times
3. Clear Timepage cache and restart the app
4. Check Outlook web for calendar visibility settings

### Sync Delays

**Problem**: Changes take too long to appear

**Solutions**:

- Check your device's sync settings:
  - Go to **Settings App** > **Apps** > **Calendar** > **Calendar Accounts** > **Fetch New Data**
  - Where possible, set each account to **Push** as this is fastest
  - Set the **Fetch** schedule to choose how often data is synced
- Some services (like iCloud and Gmail) support Push for near-instant updates, but some accounts (like certain Outlook/Exchange configurations) only allow Fetch
- If 'Push' is unavailable for your account, your device will check for updates at the interval you set in 'Fetch New Data'
- Restart Timepage

### Permission Errors

**Problem**: "Access Denied" or permission errors

**Solutions**:

1. Verify calendar permissions in device settings (see below)
2. Check if your Outlook account has calendar access enabled
3. Contact your IT administrator if using Exchange Server
4. Try removing and re-adding the account

### Allow System Permission

Timepage requires your permission to access calendars on each device that you use. When you first open Timepage we'll ask for this permission and hopefully you said yes, however if you accidentally said no…let's fix it!

#### iPhone and iPad:

1. Go to the **Settings App** > **Privacy & Security** > **Calendars**
2. Tap **Timepage** then select **Full Access**

#### Mac:

1. Go to **System Settings** > **Privacy & Security** > **Calendars**
2. Find **Timepage** and enable calendar access
3. If set to Add Only Access, tap Options and select **Full Access**

**Note**: Timepage is a calendar app, so we need to see your calendar. Remember, your calendar data is stored by your Calendar Account provider (such as Outlook) so this permission is just for us to be able to show your events on-device, they aren't sent to our servers.

## Advanced Outlook Configuration

### Exchange Server Setup

For corporate Exchange accounts:

- **Server settings** may be required:
  - **Server**: Your organization's Exchange server
  - **Domain**: Your company domain (if required)
  - **Username**: Your full email address

- **Security settings**:
  - Ensure your device supports your organization's security requirements
  - Install any required certificates
  - Enable two-factor authentication if required

### Multiple Outlook Accounts

To use multiple Outlook accounts:

1. Add each account separately in device settings
2. Configure calendar visibility in Timepage
3. Set different colors for each account
4. Choose a default calendar for new events
