How to add a Google calendar to the BOS

To create the correct Google calendar format so that it can be added to a property, the following is necessary:

1. Firstly, check the Calendar is Public
2. From the Google Calendar app in a browser, click on the ellipsis next to the calendar name of the calendar you want to integrate with the BOS (on the left where all calendars are listed)
   
3. Click on Settings and Sharing
   
4. Click on Integrate Calendar
   
5. Copy the link in the Public Address in iCal format box
   
6. Paste the link in the BOS in the Portal Code or iCal URL field (described here)

A way of checking whether the calendar link works, before pasting it in the BOS, is to paste it in the address bar of a browser. It should download a file or prompt you to add it to your calendar app (Outlook, Apple Calendar, etc.).

A video of the process can be seen here.
