After installing Screen Calendar 7.4 on your PC, there will appear an icon in your system tray. Left-click this icon to open Setup window of Screen Calendar. There is a tree in a left part of the window. Click Dates node to open a subtree. The first child node in this subtree is Import/Export. Click it to adjust settings of data exchange.

 

There is Import button in the top of the window. It enables you to import your records from a previous version of Screen Calendar. Your previous version (older then version 6.0) records are stored in the file C(or D disk):\Documents and Settings\(user name)\Application Data\Screen Calendar\dates.dat. Click Import button to browse this file. Select the file, click Open, and your records from a previous version of the program will be imported to your Scheduler.

 

There are three buttons in the bottom of the window which control data exchange between Screen Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Synchronize button is used for synchronization of records in Screen Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. After clicking this button, you will see message box “Synchronization is finished”. That means records in Screen Calendar and in Microsoft Outlook have become equal.

 

In the screenshots below you can see records for one day in Screen Calendar Scheduler and in Microsoft Outlook Calendar before and after synchronization.

 

 

You can see that synchronization combines functions of import and export. If you need only to import records from Microsoft Outlook to Screen Calendar or export data from Screen Calendar to Microsoft Outlook, use the appropriate buttons – Import Data from Outlook or Export DataBase to Outlook respectively. Having clicked these buttons, you will see message box with a number of imported or exported records.

 

 

Pay attention to the settings of data exchange. Only Last Modified box: if you activate this function (tick off), you can choose time period for records exchange. There are two choices: From This Date (default is current date, but you can choose any date using emerging calendar) or By Last (records for the last year, month, two weeks and so on – you can choose necessary time period in from the list).

 

Conflict resolution box – you have to choose variants of conflict resolution during data exchange. A conflict can arise if record time in Screen Calendar Scheduler is the same as in Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
