Part II: Import Entries

Note:

Entries created previously in a text file may be imported into WebCT calendar. Note that for the entries to be reported, they must be created in a specific format and saved as a text document. The format is as follows:

:2/6/2003,review session,,,6:00pm,7:00pm,meet at room D133

:2/7/2003,introduction to symbology,,,6:00pm,7:00pm,meet at room D133

Each entry begins with a colon “:”, and each section is parted by a comma “,”. If any sections are omitted, no space is left between the commas. The general format is as such:

:date,summary,URL,,start time(hh:mm),end time(hh:mm),detail

Once the text file is created and saved, it can be imported into WebCT calendar.
