Calendar & RSS Feeds

Introduction

Each plan has a calendar feed and an RSS feed. The calendar feed puts a plan's milestones and actions in your calendar app. The RSS feed lists the changes made to the plan in your feed reader. This page shows how to subscribe to either. You need access to the plan, and a calendar app or feed reader that can subscribe to a feed address.

Steps to subscribe

1. Open the Plans page.
2. Hover over the plan you want, or select it to expand it.
   Two feed buttons appear: the RSS button (Activity Stream RSS Feed) and the calendar button (Calendar Feed). They stay hidden until you do this.
3. Select the button for the feed you want.
   Your browser may offer to open your calendar app or feed reader.
4. If nothing opens, right-click the button, choose to copy the link address, and paste it into your app's option to subscribe to a calendar or add a feed.

The plan now appears in your calendar app or feed reader, and updates when the app next checks the feed.

What each feed contains

• Calendar feed: each milestone is an event, and each action is a task. Some calendar apps show only the events.
• RSS feed: the plan's most recent changes, such as a new milestone, a new date, a changed status or a changed owner.

Keep the link private

The feed address includes a key for your account, so anyone who has the link can read the feed as you. Do not share it.

Troubleshooting

• The calendar is not updating: your calendar app decides how often it checks a feed. Check that the app supports subscribing to an iCalendar feed, and that the whole address was pasted.
• A feed shows nothing new: feed readers check periodically. Refresh the feed by hand, or look at the reader's settings for how often it checks.
• A feed no longer works: check that you still have access to the plan. A feed only contains what you can see.
