Exporting the FLO calendar
The calendar in FLO records due dates for assessment items and other events added by the
teaching team. But it is only visible in FLO itself.
By syncing the FLO calendar to either your
Google or Outlook calendar it is possible to view the calendar information in a more
convenient manner on your phone or tablet.
You can sync your FLO calendar via URL to Google or Outlook.
This will update dynamically as content changes in FLO (though the updates are not
instant and may take up to 8 hours on Google or 3 hours on Outlook).
This needs to be done on PC desktop version of Google and Outlook (not mobile versions)
but will then apply to all versions. Mac users and PC web (OWA) have a separate link below
after performing the common instructions below first.

to FLO (stay in the My FLO page). Under the Navigation menu on the left, select Calendar.
• Click the Export calendar button at the bottom of the calendar.
• Select All events and Custom range (this includes your calendar events for the next
year) and click Get calendar URL.
