You as a resource in an Organization are booked on projects. But are also needed to be in some meetings. But what if, someone who wants to invite you to a meeting needs to know if you’re booked on a Project/Task in D365?
In that case, Syncing your Bookings to Outlook Calendar comes handy.
Let’s say, most commonly in a Technical Services Industry where users are supposed to work on projects and they should appear as booked so that others don’t drag them to other meetings. 😊
Remember, Server Side Synchronization should be turned on for the user on their mailbox to be able to use this feature.
Enable Sync Resource with Outlook Feature
- In System Settings, navigate to Synchronization tab and enable Synchronize resource bookings with Outlook as shown below.
- Personal Settings – The same needs to be done for an individual user on their Personal Settings in D365.
Bookings in PSA now appear in Outlook
Now, example, Priyesh is booked on Home Link Piping project on Monday, 3rd December and this is how the schedule board looks like this
As the sync happens, the Bookings will now show up in the user’s Outlook Calendar.
Please note that Server Side Sync can take up to 15 mins to sync through as per the minimum sync cycle duration.
Hope this helps!
