Add calendar from the KTH web to the KTH webmail
On KTH's website kth.se and intra.kth.se there are several calendars. With a few simple steps, you can ensure that those calendar events are added to your webmail.
Limitations to be aware of
There are two functional limitations with this action:
- Adding of a calendar needs to be redone every turn of the year.
- It may happen that new calendar events created on the web take a very long time to be updated in your own webmail calendar, or even not automatically updated at all in your webmail calendar. To be sure you haven't missed an update on the web, it's fastest and safest to redo the three steps below if necessary.
Saves manual work
Despite the limitations mentioned above, you don't have to enter calendar event by calendar event manually for the dates, events or activities you need or want to keep track of.
