With the ICS/iCal Calendar tool you can add nearly any calendar service to your DAKboard. As long as your calendar service allows you to export your calendars using this format, you can add them to your Display. This article will show you how to do this.

Getting your ICS/iCal File:

You will first need to find out if your calendar service allows you to export your calendar in an ICS or iCal format. Most calendar services allow this. We have examples of these files and how to access them in some of the more popular calendars. See our Helpful Articles section below to see these examples.

Your calendar service knowledge base will be able to let you know if you can export using these file types. The will allow you to generate a ICS/iCal file in the form of a URL if they can. Once you have your file's URL, you can proceed to your DAKboard Screen to add your calendar.

Depending on what type of Screen you are adding your calendar to, the process is slightly different.
