Additional step: resolve syncing issues in third party calendars (Office 365, viewing from a phone)

Additional step: resolve syncing issues

  • Allow a little time for content to sync. This may vary depending on the device manufacturer, the available connectivity, and when content was added to the timetable. As stated above, we cannot guarantee how often third party calendars will sync with the timetable. Furthermore, once content is added to your timetable there may be a delay in it appearing in the student view of content, depending on when automatic updates to the timetable have run. Timetable content is also gradually released block by block.
  • If only some content is missing, contact the session organiser and check that all content has in fact been added to your timetable. Also check information has not been communicated to you via an alternative method (such as a link in a Blackboard announcement or an email, or an invitation via your Teams calendar).
  • Ensure you have correctly copied and pasted the timetable link and followed the steps above. You do not need to add the timetable again for a new academic year, however, if you encounter issues try removing the timetable link from your calendar / device and repeating the steps above.
  • If the timetable is showing but the timings are incorrect, please check your settings. For your Outlook calendar, please navigate to your email settings/ view all Outlook settings/ general/ language and time. Check the time zone is set to Dublin Edinburgh Lisbon London. For your phone, please navigate to your email settings and check the time zone is also set to Dublin Edinburgh Lisbon London. Also check the overall time zone settings on your phone.
  • Please be aware this is example guidance only. Some device models / older models may not support all of the steps detailed here. We also suggest searching for online support for your specific device. Please also see the following additional support pages; Microsoft Office support and Apple support.

Once you have tried the above steps, please contact help@hyms.ac.uk for further support. Please clarify what content is missing (all content or only some content) with some example dates / times / sessions. Please also refer to your live timetable feed and / or contact the relevant session organiser / the programme delivery team to be provided with session details in an alternative format.
