We wish that we were able to get such a feature working. For one thing most applications (like iCal, or the Palm Calendar) will not preserve any “tracers” we may want to put on a record so that we can get that same record back and do a matching import. Unfortunately, though we can export and import iCal files, these routines are not designed to synch these files. The “DESCRIPTION” section, right near the beginning of the calc, is likely what you’ll be interested in. Edit that SetField and you’ll see we’re using a pretty simple, if somewhat long, calculation to format the iCal record. If you edit the “Export Appointment Found Set as iCal” script you’ll see one loop in that script inside the loop is a SetField statement. If you want to change the actual information being exported (if you’ve added some fields to the calendar you’d like to include in your ical file, for instance), you’ll find this pretty easy. If you are frequently exporting several found sets, you may wish to automate this using a plugin (ScriptFire Plugin from or ZippScript from ) to export the files every x hours. One nice thing about this is that each found set you export from our calendar becomes its own “calendar” in iCal and PHPiCalendar, so you can kind of filter iCal as you filter your FileMaker calendar, providing you export each appointment type as its own found set. This routine will export a file called “seedcodecalendar.ics” which you can then drag to iCal or upload to a web server running PHPiCalendar (see below). Once you have the found set you wish to export, simply click the “export vCal” button at the top of the table view to export the found set as an ical file. You’ll perform this export from the table view of appointments or to-dos (for the rest of this discussion we’ll talk about appointments, but these exporting tips apply to to-dos as well).įor information about how to arrive at table view and how to build a found set of appointments there, see the entry on List and Table view. You can export any found set of appointments or to-do items to the ical format.
