To subscribe to a RefTown calendar feed in the iCal/ics format in another application you wil need to obtain a special RefTown address that is unique to you.

There are four ways to get to the addreses for the subscriptions (all take you to the same place)....

1. Through your Profile
   1. Click on your account menu in the RefTown menubar
   2. Click on "Profile..."
   3. Click on "Calendar Feed"
2. From the Meetings/Events Page
   • Under Quick Links ....click  "Calendar Feed"
3. From your individual Game Schedule
   • Under Quick Links ....click  "Calendar Feed"
4. Go to  https://www.reftown.com/profile.asp?Focus=ShowPAK

Once there, you will then need to decide if you wish to access a single "global" feed for all organizations on one calendar or a separate single-organization feed...if you only belong to a single organization, the two choices are equivalent.

If you have not previously generated a key, click the "Generate New Key". This will create three options that will grant read-only access to information from your account:  your game schedule, your meeting/event schedule, or a combination of the two.

You can use any of these addresses in other calendar programs to show your schedule without needing to manually import your schedule in those programs. Updates to your schedule will automatically be synchronized (a few times a day in most cases).

You can also share one or more addresses with mentors, spouses, etc. so they can stay up-to-date on your schedule in their own calendar application without requiring you to communicate the details of your schedule to them.

At any time, you can return the subscription page to invalidate and replace the keys you've generated. Doing so will block all further accesses to your schedule that use the old key.
