Question

In the Admin > Integrations > Calendar page, 2 settings appear after activating Google Calendar. Are these settings dependent on each other or can they be enabled individually?

These settings are:

• Sync Task deadlines to user's calendar
• View your calendar events inside Forecast

Answer

No, these settings are not dependent upon each other. Each setting can be activated or deactivated independently of the other. 

Sync Task deadlines to user's calendar

This setting enables the calendar URL to populate into each user profile. This URL is used to subscribe to a Forecast calendar and view tasks within G-Cal. If this setting is not enabled, calendar links will not appear in user profiles. 

View your calendar events inside Forecast

This setting enables uses to link their Forecast profile with their Google account allowing their G-Cal events to be visible within My Timesheets.
