# Connecting Events with iCal

*infoodle* has two ways of publishing information regarding events, rostered events and any events that are visible on the internet. The Calendar can be exported to an external service, such as Outlook, Google or iCal by those services **subscribing** to your personal infoodle calendar. *infoodle* will export an ics file for this purpose. Alternatively, *infoodle* can generate a form visible on the Internet.

infoodle can export three types of data:

* **My Events**: Exports the list of events that are specific to the user.
* **My Rostered Events**: Will show events specific to you, but only if the user is rostered on to the event.
* **Visible on the Internet**: Shows all events specifically flagged as being available on the internet, regardless of an individuals involvement. This is intended for public organisation calendars.

#### Follow these steps to add the calendar to an external service:

1. Click on Events.
2. In the top right hand corner, click on the **iCal** button.
