HR application preferences

Create Employee Feed instructions

1. Select the employee whose calendar should be available.
2. Click Create Employee Feed.
3. Copy the Latest private feed URL that appears after the feed is created.
4. Add that URL to Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, or another calendar app using its subscribe-from-URL option.
5. The employee feed shows only that employee's permitted HR calendar items: assigned shifts, assigned calendar events, approved time off, attached projects or assignments, and location or attendance details.
6. Subscribed calendars may take time to refresh because the calendar app controls when it checks the feed again.

Security and controls

• The feed URL is private. Anyone with that URL can view the feed until it is revoked or regenerated.
• Revoke stops the old URL from returning calendar data.
• Regenerate creates a new URL and makes the old URL stop working.
• The app stores a hashed feed token and does not use the database ID as the feed secret.
• This is not Google or Outlook login sync. It is a one-way private subscribed ICS calendar feed.
