Import From Microsoft Outlook

WorkZone can import calendar events from Microsoft Outlook into the calendar for an individual workspace. Please note that this feature is a one-time import; it does not dynamically link your MS Outlook calendar to the WorkZone calendar. Changes made outside of WorkZone will not be reflected in the WorkZone calendar.

To begin the process, you will need to export your calendar from MS Outlook. While the exact process may vary depending on the version of Outlook you are using, typically you will click FileImport and ExportExport to a fileComma Separated Values (Windows). Select your calendar folder in Outlook, then click Finish. Outlook will ask you for the date range you would like to export. Click OK, then Outlook will export the CSV file.

In WorkZone, click on the Calendar link in the workspace where you would like to import the Outlook events. At the top right of the screen, click the Import link. Click the Browse button to browse your hard drive for the CSV file that Outlook created with the events it exported. Click Continue.

If the CSV file fails to import properly, there may be certain entries in the CSV file that contain non-standard characters that WorkZone cannot understand. Open the CSV file in a text editor, delete any unusual characters and try again. Call Customer Support at 610-275-9861 if you would like assistance with this.
