Here are some things to check:

1. Ensure you entered the User ID and password correctly. Depending upon your database, they may be case-sensitive. For example, dog is not the same as DOG or dOg.
2. Ensure that your browser has cookies enabled. Connect Daily uses Session Cookies, which last the duration of your login. No other identifiable information is stored.
   1. For IE, choose TOOLS | INTERNET OPTIONS | PRIVACY. Ensure the policy is set to Medium High or lower.
   2. For Mozilla, ensure that you at least accept and send cookies to and from the originating website.

When you are not logged in, the preference settings are determined in two steps.

If the User has gone to the Anonymous Preferences screen, then the options for Show Stop Time, Show Resources, and Time Zone are controlled by what the User has selected.

In all other cases, the options are controlled by the User preferences set for the GUEST User. To edit the settings for the GUEST user, go to the Setup Public Calendar Viewing screen.

Exporting From MS Outlook

For exporting data from MS Outlook into Connect Daily, there are two options:

iCal Conversion Program

Using the iCal Conversion program, you can export your Outlook data as iCal (RFC-2445) data for import into Connect Daily using the Import iCal File screen. This method gives the best results because it preserves recurrence information for events.

Use the link below to download the converter.

iCalConversion Program Installer

Comma Separated Value/CSV Export

Using Outlook's export capability, you can save your events in CSV format. Once they're in CSV format, they can be imported into Connect Daily using the CSV Import Wizard. If you use this method, recurring event information will not be exported. Any recurring events will be exported as a series of one-time events with the date for each recurrence.

Importing to MS Outlook

For importing Connect Daily data into MS Outlook, there are 3 options.

Connect Daily Sync Program

The Connect Daily Sync program is the best option. It will keep track of which Connect Daily events have been brought into Outlook and not create duplicates. You can download the sync program from the link below.

iCal Conversion Program

Using Connect Daily's iCal export feature, import the iCal file into Outlook using the iCalConversion Program.

If you are using MS Outlook 2007, you can use the iCal Export feature of Connect Daily to create a dynamic imported calendar in Outlook that contains your events. Just go to the iCal export page, and click on the webcal:// link for the calendar you wish to link to.

CSV Import

Export your Connect Daily events using the CSV Export screen, then use Outlook's CSV Import screen to bring in the events. This is the least desirable way, because no recurrence information is exported.

To configure this, go to the Setup Public Calendar Viewing screen and check the option for Can the public add events to the calendar?

Once you've done this, you'll still need to add a link to the custom header to give the users a way of adding the events. To do this, go to the Edit Custom Header screen.

By default, you can specify the color for an event type in the Edit Event Type screen. Using this screen, you can set the foreground and background colors, fonts, etc. for each event type.

In the SYSTEM | CONFIGURATION | APPEARANCE screen, change the configuration option for "Show Only Approved Events" to "Yes".

When the operator attempts to add an event they receive the message:

Invalid Event Type. Ensure you have permission to USE at least one Event Type.

This message happens because the User adding the event does not have permission to USE at least one calendar Event Type. If you carefully examine the Item Add screen, you will notice that the Event Type dropdown is empty and no option can be selected.

To solve this problem, use the Manage Security Wizard and give this User (or a Group the User belongs to) View and Use permissions for the appropriate calendar Event Types.

Use The Purge Database function on the System menu pad. If you do not see this option, contact your system administrator.

Generally, almost all browsers will work. There are a few exceptions that are documented below:

Opera Versions < 7.1

Viewing of calendars is supported. Opera 7.1 or higher is required to edit calendars.

Netscape 4.x

This is an older browser with quite a lot of problems. We do not recommend you use it. If you have to use it, you should be aware of the following: Depending on your operating system, calendar display may not work correctly. You can work around this by setting a configuration entry "charset=ISO-8859-1" in your configuration.properties file. The issue happens because Netscape 4.x advertises support for Unicode but the support depends on which OS you are using. When logged in editing calendars, clicking on the day numerals will not take you to the edit item screen to add a new item. Calendar and cell borders will not display. Generally, CSS in Netscape 4.x is horribly broken.

Changes to calendar events are not saved until you specifically click on the Save button.They are not saved when you change tabs on the event.
