Export Interviews

VSys can export interviews to your Microsoft Outlook calendar or to the vCalendar format which can be imported into many other applications. With one or more interviews showing in the Interview Manager, links on the Export panel on the left will become enabled.

All to vCalendar	All interviews shown will be exported to a .ics file.
Selected to vCalendar	Only checked items will be exported to a .ics file.
All to Outlook	All interviews shown will be exported to your Outlook calendar.
Selected to Outlook	Only checked items will be exported to your Outlook calendar.

Outlook

Exporting to Outlook is convenient, but comes with two caveats:

Outlook must be installed on the machine that you're using as you export the interviews.
If you export interviews which already exist in your Outlook calendar, they will be re-created as duplicates. This is a result of the protocol used by Outlook.

vCalendar

vCalendar files are not specific to a single application, instead they are specially formatted text files following a standard protocol.
