Exchange Calendar, normally accessed via Microsoft Outlook Calendar is widely used to keep your days and meetings organized. You can schedule appointments in Outlook Calendar on a Mac or PC, or via the browser based Outlook interface. With the Appointments feature, you can enhance the capability of Web Suite to connect to the Microsoft Exchange Calendar and see all your appointments on that screen. The Supervisor specifies the Exchange Server information in Global Settings for this feature to work. This information gets inherited by the Preferences screen, except for the login credentials. All users have to provide their own email account and password information at the user level.
This screen is not visible to a Supervisor, only to a Web Suite user.

Test Connection:
After specifying exchange server settings, it is a good practice to test those before proceeding. You must save the settings prior to testing the connection. Clicking this button verifies whether a connection with the exchange server has been established successfully or not. After a successful login and establishing connection with the Exchange Calendar, appointments are retrieved and displayed in the Appointments screen.
