Add the events to your calendar
For whom and what you need
For everybody who would rather look at the calendar on their phone or computer than at the portal. An event the manager has published — an inspection, a water shut-off, a meeting — goes into it with one click and stays there whether you open the portal or not.
There are two ways of doing it and both are described here: you download one event and add it, or you set up a calendar feed once — a link of your own that you put into your calendar app, which then looks at it for you. With a feed there is nothing left to do: new events of your entrance turn up in your calendar by themselves.
You need to be signed in and to have an approved unit in the entrance. A manager adds the events of the buildings they run the same way, and their feed carries the inspection due dates as well. On a phone and on a computer the file opens the calendar you already have; the portal needs none of its own and installs nothing.
Steps
Open the list of events
Under the Publications tab click Events. Here are your entrance's upcoming events, soonest first, with the past ones folded away underneath. The notice board has them too, in the Coming up card, and the button is there as well — every screen that shows you an event lets you put it in your calendar.
Click Add to calendar
Every event carries Add to calendar. Clicking it downloads a small file
ending in .ics — the kind calendars send each other. Open it and your calendar asks whether to add the event.
On a phone it usually opens by itself as soon as it is downloaded.
The file holds the title, the day (or the first and the last day), the time if the manager gave one, the supplier, the address of your entrance and a link back to the portal. It does not hold the event's description: the manager wrote that for the people of the building, and the portal does not send it to somebody else's calendar. You read the whole description on the list of events, which is where the link in your calendar leads.
Switch the list to a month
Above the list stands How to show them: List and Month. Month draws the whole month in weeks from Monday; an event over several days is a bar across all of them, today has a frame around it, and Previous month and Next month move a month either way. Clicking a bar opens that event on the list. The portal always opens in the list — on a phone too, where events read better one under another.
Or subscribe to the whole calendar
If you would rather not add events one at a time, open Profile and its Calendar feed section. The portal says the important thing first: anyone holding that link can read your events — without signing in and without a password, and your calendar provider (Google, Apple or Microsoft, say) will keep a copy of these events from now on. If that suits you, click Create link.
The whole link appears in the field under the warning, and Copy puts it on your clipboard. Add it in your calendar app wherever it offers "subscribe to calendar" or "add calendar from URL" — in Google Calendar that is Other calendars → From URL, on an iPhone Settings → Apps → Calendar → Accounts → Add account → Other → Add subscribed calendar. Give the link to nobody else.
The feed holds the events of every entrance you have an approved unit in, from 90 days back to a year ahead, each with that entrance's address. If you manage buildings, it holds their organisations' events and the inspection due dates as whole-day entries too. The description of an event is never in it — as it is never in the downloaded file.
Replace or delete the link when you no longer want it
The same section of the profile has Replace link and Delete link. Replace link makes a new one and the old stops working at once — that is what you reach for when the link has gone somewhere it should not have. Then put the new one into your calendar app in place of the old. Delete link ends the subscription altogether.
The link also stops working when you Sign out everywhere (described in Sign in and out), and when your account is erased. Under the link the portal says when it was made and when something last read it, so you can tell whether your calendar really reads it.
When an event changes
The file you downloaded is a copy of the event as it then was. If the manager later changes the day or the time, your calendar does not rewrite itself — download the event again and the calendar replaces the entry with the same one (the portal gives every event a lasting code of its own). If the manager deletes the event, you remove it from your calendar yourself; the portal never reaches into it.
A feed is different: your calendar app reads it again now and then by itself and takes the change over. How often is its decision and not the portal's — usually once every few hours, so an event announced a minute ago need not be there yet.
What others see
Nobody on the portal. Neither the manager nor your neighbours learn that you added an event, or that you subscribed at all. Your calendar is your own, though — if you keep it with a provider (Google, Apple, Microsoft), that provider now has a copy of these events as well; with a feed it keeps getting them as they come. That recipient is one you choose, by which app you put the link into.
When you move out and the manager ends your unit, that entrance's events drop out of the feed at its next read. The same goes for an organisation that closes. The link keeps working meanwhile — it simply carries nothing that is no longer yours.
Mails
Adding an event to your calendar sends no email. The email about a new event arrives when the manager announces it, and is described in Read Notices, Events and Documents.
When something goes wrong
The file downloaded but nothing opened
Open the downloaded .ics file by tapping it in the list of downloads. If the device does not know what to open it with, there is no calendar app on it;
you can always put the event into your calendar by hand from what the list of events says.
The link says Error 403
The manager has deleted the event in the meantime, or you no longer have an approved unit in the entrance it was meant for. The portal deliberately does not say which. If you have not moved out, ask your manager.
The subscription would not add
Check that you copied the whole link, with https:// at the front and .ics at the end. Some apps want it as
webcal:// — replace https with webcal then. And add it as a subscribed calendar, not as a file to
import: an imported file never updates itself again.
The subscription stopped working
You have most likely replaced or deleted the link, or signed out everywhere — each of those ends the old link. Make a new one in your profile and put it into your calendar app in place of the old.
The event is in my calendar twice
Some calendars offer "add" instead of "replace" when the same file is opened again. Delete one of the two; the portal sends the same event code every time.
The time in my calendar is wrong
The portal writes the times in our own time (Europe/Bratislava), daylight saving rule and all. If your calendar is set to another zone, it shows the event in that zone — it is the same moment. An event with no time is a whole-day one.
Where it ends
The Journey ends with the event in your calendar — one you added, or all of them arriving there by themselves from now on. What is happening in your building you still read in Read Notices, Events and Documents; which emails and phone notifications you get you choose in Choose your notifications.
