Deidre Edmonds -> Importing from Outlook 2010 to CC12 (7/7/2016 4:27:55 PM)

I am considering purchasing CC to use at my place of business. Ultimately, we want to import our events from our Outlook 2010 computer to CC12 in order to create a staff calendar, then upload the calendar for viewing on our website. Have people had easy success with this or is a it a difficult process to complete?

It is possible to import events from Outlook to CC12, and I'm assuming that Outlook 2010 will work as with previous versions for the purpose. There will be limitations with the imported data, but unless the Outlook events are complex, the basic information should carry over. You will need to export the Outlook events to CSV files and import those into calendar Creator.

I'd advise importing the data into a new, basic Calendar Creator calendar, rather than to an existing one you've created, at least as a test. If you decide to import into a Calendar Creator project you've created, be certain you have a backup of it first.

Would a screen capture of your Outlook calendar be suitable for your website? Even with a CC calendar, a JPG or PDF version is still required for uploading to a website.

ellengard makes a very good point. Perhaps you can describe more details about your staff calendar so that different options can be explored. First, an Outlook calendar can't be synced with a Calendar Creator calendar, so unless the staff calendar is static, or changes very infrequently, updating the Calendar Creator calendar with current data from Outlook is not practical.

Will your calendar be maintained by one person, or on one computer? It is not designed for use on servers, but only for stand-alone PCs.

If it would be beneficial for more than one person to be able to add or edit events, you might do better with a Cloud calendar, like Yahoo's or Google's. With one of those, changes would be visible instantly to everyone authorized to see it, and also to be changed by those authorized to do so via Sharing.

That's a great idea from David. Yahoo's online calendar has a share option so you can embed the link on a web page. Edits to the calendar show on the web page immediately. You never have to create a new file and upload it.
