Finally after a lot of work (and some tears) the Roster Calendars service is live!!
The RosterSMS system will check your webCIS roster each day and update the calendar server. Whenever your iPad is online it will automatically update itself against the calendar server.
Subscribe here (There are plenty of screen shots there.) Calendar Setup Instructions are here
If you want a family member or friend to see your roster, just give them your RosterSMS username/password (once you have activated the calender service). This will now negate the need of having to give your actual webCIS password to all and sundry.
There are different display options under the Profile setting on the website.
Trips can be displayed a:
- “All day events” or the trip can start/stop at the trip sign-on/off time.
- Individual sectors can displayed.
- X and A days can be displayed (Very useful when on a blank line.)
I will be looking to add more options as more people use the system.
It works great on iPads - I have a detailed instruction page on the website. It appears to work fine on iCal on the Mac and on iPhones. (It is still experimental for Android phones.)
Feel free to let me know how it works for you and any extra options you need.
Andy.
PS. Thanks to all the beta testers!
