# Groupware Calendar Import

**Groupware Calendar Import** is the process of migrating external calendar events and data into the [[groupware]] collaboration platform's calendar system. This functionality allows users to consolidate schedules from other calendar applications into the university's central collaboration platform.

## Technical Requirements and Constraints
The system exclusively and strictly supports the **ICS (iCalendar)** file format. 
- Files in other formats cannot be imported using this method.
- Specifically, formats such as CSV are not supported for this import process.

## Operational Workflow
To import calendar data, users must follow these steps within the Groupware interface:
1. Open the **Calendar module** in Groupware.
2. Click the **Manage** (gear icon) button to open the administration interface/area.
3. **Double-click** the target calendar from the list of available calendars.
4. Navigate to the **Import** tab.
5. Use the **Browse** button to locate and select the local `.ics` file.
6. Click **Import** and confirm the operation.

## Support
If the import fails, technical issues arise, or further assistance is needed, users are directed to the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] via:
- The [[groupware]] ticket system.
- The URZ hotline (extension 1420).
