- New Internet Calendar support of Web View 3.2.6 automatically maintains an employee’s work calendar in their calendar software (e.g. Outlook). Refresh rate and maximum days parameters are set in Tools>Web Services>[Options]. Employees click [Help] in Web View for how to activate. As usual only the Web Server needs to upgraded to provide this new web feature.

For details of implementing and setting up shortcuts on desktops to provide direct browser access to Who’s PIC now (and optionally Facilities) see Help>Index and enter PIC.
