About importing and exporting calendar items
You can import items from an external electronic calendar into a FirstClass calendar, or export calendar events and tasks from FirstClass.
Imports use vCalendar format (a .vcs file). vCalendar is a common format for transferring calendar information between applications.
Exports use vCalendar or Excel format (a .csv file). Excel format consists of comma, tab, or semicolon delimited data.
Importing calendar items
When you import a .vcs file, events are converted to FirstClass calendar events, and to-dos are converted to FirstClass calendar tasks. All imported calendar items are placed in your personal calendar. Any information that doesn't belong in FirstClass' calendar event and task fields is placed in the event or task bodies.
To import external calendar items:
1 Choose File > Import > Import Calendar.
2 Select the .vcs file.
To import a .vcs file attached to a message, select it, then choose Collaborate > Add to Calendar. The events and tasks are added to your personal calendar.
Exporting calendar items
To export the items in a FirstClass calendar:
1 Select the calendar.
If you want to export only certain items, open the calendar and select them.
2 Choose File > Export.
3 Select "Export calendar events and tasks".
4 Select the export format you want at "Calendar export format":
• vCalendar
• For use with BlackBerry - exports all information of use to BlackBerry in Excel format.
5 Select the location where you want the file to be saved.
6 Rename the file, if desired.
