Export a SiteBuilder calendar page to iCalendar format

You can export the data from SiteBuilder and import it to any application that supports the iCalendar format – for example, Apple Calendar (formerly iCal), Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook or SiteBuilder.

There are two ways to export the calendar data:

• Download the iCalendar file – this is a snapshot of the calendar at a particular time. When you import the file to another calendar application, the data does not synchronise with the SiteBuilder calendar. Use this method to import the data to another SiteBuilder calendar.
• Copy the iCalendar URL – and subscribe to it in your preferred calendar application. The data remains synchronised with SiteBuilder and updates periodically, depending on your calendar application's settings.

Download an iCalendar file

1. Go to the calendar page in SiteBuilder.

2. Use the checkboxes to select tags for the event types you wish to include in the iCalendar file, then select Show selected:

   

3. Select iCalendar beneath the calendar.

4. At the prompt, save the iCalendar file (its extension is ICS) to your computer.

5. Go to your preferred calendar application and import the iCalendar file.

Example: Import an iCalendar file to Microsoft Outlook 2016 (Windows)

1. Open Microsoft Outlook.

2. Go to File > Open > Import.

3. Browse to the iCalendar file on your computer and select OK.

4. Choose from the following options:

   • Import – merge the iCalendar data into your current calendar in Outlook.

Copy an iCalendar URL
