Google Calendars

The Basics

Yes! However, keep in mind that some Google calendars are read-only, such as those shared with you with view-only access or subscription calendars like sports schedules. If you can edit events in Google, you can also edit them in DayBack.

You'll see the same calendars in DayBack that you see when logged into Google. Each DayBack user signs into Google individually, so they'll see their Google calendars, including any that were shared with them.

No. DayBack overlays Google and your other calendar sources, providing a single view for all your commitments. For more on syncing and sync options, refer to: Does DayBack sync with Google?.

Yes. You can share your personal calendars with others without revealing the details of your private events. This allows your team to schedule appointments around your availability without seeing the specifics of your personal commitments.

How do I configure DayBack to show my Google Calendars?

If the Google calendar option is enabled (it is by default), you will be prompted to log into Google when you visit DayBack's calendars tab. Once you grant DayBack permission to access Google, and if you're already signed in to Google, your Google calendars will automatically appear when you access DayBack.

If you're an administrator and would like to set this up, here's how:

Turning Google Calendars Off

1

Visit the Settings tab in the calendar's sidebar and click on Administrator Settings.

2

Find "Google Calendar" under source settings.

3

Switch the visibility to "Off"

Turning Google Calendars On

1

Visit the Settings tab in the calendar's sidebar and click on Administrator Settings.

2

Then click "Google Calendar" under source settings. Delete the "My Google Calendars" entry already there to disable Google Calendars for your users.

3

Click "Add new source" and give the source a name, likely "Google Calendars"

4

That's it, there is no other configuration needed though you can sign in to Google now, if you'd like, so you can see your own Google events when you return to the calendar.

5

Click "Back to calendar" in the upper left to leave the admin settings area.
