iCal feed content

Your iCal feed is standard iCalendar, so any calendar app that supports iCal subscriptions can read it. Here's exactly what it carries.

#The calendar

Name: the calendar's title.
Refresh hint: the feed suggests that calendar apps check for updates every 60 minutes.

#Each event

In your calendar app	Where it comes from
Summary	The event's summary, which calendar apps show as its title.
Description	The event's blurb, its attached links and the names of attendees.
Location or URL	The first attached content link, external link or the location's link.
Categories	The event's tags.
Priority	The event's priority.
Status	Confirmed.
Availability	Shown as busy time.

Create Event dialog with name, priority, description, dates and the Schedule, Details, Users, Links and Tags tabs — The name, priority, description, people, links and tags you set when creating an event are what subscribers see in their calendar app.

#Attendees

Only external participants with an email address become real attendees in the feed. People from your Confluence site are listed by name in the event description instead.

#Where you do it

Task	Where
Point a page calendar at a shared, saved calendar	Calendar macro config → Content tab → Source
Choose the view the macro opens in	Calendar macro config → Content tab → View
Hide specific dates from the grid	Calendar macro config → Content tab → Hidden on-page events

#Settings that affect this

Setting	Where	What it does
Indexing tab	Confluence settings → Capable → Indexing	Where an administrator triggers or inspects content indexing. Indexing itself runs in both products; only the admin tab differs.
