Adding Milestones to a Google Calendar

Adding Project Milestones to your calendar helps you to keep track of your project's progress. We've made it easy to add your Visually Project Milestones to the calendar you use the most.

You'll find your Project Milestones at the bottom right of the Activity Feed. To integrate these Milestones into your Calendar, click the Add to Calendar button.

The next step will be to select the calendar you want to integrate.


 

Outlook or Google Calendar

After selecting Add to Outlook Calendar or Add to Google Calendar, you'll need to grant the Project Centre permission to View and Manage your calendar. Don't worry! This is only so we can add the Project Milestones and we will not have access to adjust any other appointments or settings.

Your Project Milestones will then show up in your Google or Outlook Calendar as events on the day they are due. Specific times will not be indicated, and your default calendar settings will be applied.
