Q. How do I connect my Outlook calendar to Advantage Anywhere

A.  You can now connect your Outlook Calendar if you are using Server Exchange 2013 (or newer) OR Outlook 365.  Please contact support if you are using a prior Exchange version or if you are having problems connecting.

To connect the calendars, log into Advantage Anywhere, navigate to your Calendar and click on the gear on the right hand side.

When your Outlook calendar connects, you’ll see the success screen below.  Allow a few minutes to allow the two calendars to share your appointments but in just a few minutes you’ll see your calendar populate.

If you are having any trouble with syncing the calendar to Outlook here is a diagnostic tool from Microsoft which will give you feedback as to whether the port 443 is open as this port is a required open port from your exchange server to allow Advantage Anywhere to connect and sync the calendars.
