Google Calendars Two-Way and Free/Busy Sync
- Select Calendar for Two-Way Sync (Recommended Option): All calendar items sync back and forth between your Navigate calendar and your Geneseo Google calendar. Events from your Google calendar will display as Busy in your Navigate calendar. Navigate appointments will display on your Google calendar.
- Calendar items with a status of Busy will show on your Navigate calendar. Items labeled as Free will not sync to Navigate.
- If you typically create a calendar event for office hours or available appointment times, you must change the status to Free to have availability in Navigate. If they are Busy, Navigate will block those times as unavailable.
- Select Calendar for Free/Busy Sync: This is usually the same calendar you use for two-way sync. If you want to block appointments as "busy" on your Google calendar but have the times free in Navigate, you can create a new calendar in Google and select it for Navigate free/busy sync. We recommend you name it something like "Fox Office Hours" so that you recognize the calendar you are using. If you implement this option, you must remember to create (or copy) meetings on this alternate calendar if you need to block Navigate appointments when you are unavailable.
