Calendar synchronization

You can find all Outlook or Notes appointments, reminders & XPhone meetings in the XPhone Connect Client > Appointment View > Agenda. The appointments can be opened directly from the client in Outlook or Notes.

In addition, depending on the settings, presence profiles and, if necessary, call forwarding can be activated automatically on the basis of the appointments.
