An ICS (iCalendar) calendar is a standard digital format for sharing and storing calendar events.
It includes event details, dates, times, and can be easily imported into various calendar apps, making it a universal way to share and synchronise events across different platforms and also into RosterBuster.
An ICS calendar file typically has the ".ics" file extension. Here's a simplified example of its structure:
Filename: my_calendar.ics
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//Example Corp//Calendar App//EN
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:1234567890
DTSTAMP:20230101T120000Z
DTSTART:20230115T090000Z
DTEND:20230115T110000Z
SUMMARY:Team Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Discuss project updates.
LOCATION:Conference Room A
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
This example represents a single event within an ICS calendar file. It includes details such as event name, date, time, and location. Multiple events can be included within a single .ics file for easy calendar sharing and synchronisation.
A public link to an ICS (iCalendar) file is a URL that allows anyone with the link to access and subscribe to the calendar. Here's an explanation Public ICS Calendar link:
- A web URL that points to an ICS file hosted online.
- Provides access to a calendar's events, which can be synchronised with various calendar apps and services and also into RosterBuster.
