Exchange Calendar Configuration
With the Exchange Calendar Configuration you can synchronize the calendar items in Service Manager with your Office 365 calendar. This helps you receive notifications in your Office 365 account when a calendar item is created, deleted, or updated in Service Manager.
Configuring the Exchange Calendar
1.Login to Service Manager with Administrator user role.
2.From the workspace menu, click More and select Exchange Calendar Configuration.
The Exchange Calendar Configuration workspace is displayed which will have a default out-of-the-box configured record.
3.Double-click the default record to view and edit it.
Though you can create a New Exchange Configuration account, it not advisable to do so. We suggest you to use the default record by editing the necessary fields since all the required business rules for it is setup in the backend.
