Introduction
You can send your event schedule in ASIMUT to a range of popular calendar applications.
This allows you to have a single view of your daily commitments rather than having to check ASIMUT’s agenda plus your other schedules.
The creators of ASIMUT have recommended that its users depend on ASIMUT’s built-in agenda and calendar as the source of truth, rather than relying on an outside source for this.
For this reason, their guides for sending events outside ASIMUT may be out of date and support for it is likely not to be a priority for them.
Reasons they offer to support their view include that there may be delays or errors in events being added or updated in external calendars.
They mention that these delays may for instance be due to internet data congestion or problems the systems an external calendar uses.
These systems are outside the control of ASIMUT support staff.
Example: February 2025 - We have had reports from some NIDA users that it may several hours for events to arrive in Outlook.
This is obviously problematic if an event is added, changed or removed at short notice and you are thus not aware of this.
As at February 2025, the following calendar options are supported by ASIMUT.

Finding the steps to send your events to your calendar
The steps and links you need to set up the connection to each of these external calendar are shown on the Preferences screen.

Creating a shortcut to your calendar or ASIMUT on your mobile device’s home screen
When using your browser to access ASIMUT on your mobile or Android/iOS device, you can add a shortcut to a browser webpage (such as ASIMUT or your calendar) directly to your phone’s home screen.
This will allow you to tap once to access these pages.
To do this, open ASIMUT or your calendar in your mobile’s browser and then select the ‘Add to homepage’ option.
This may be found in a number of spots, so select one of the following sample links or search for the homepage add option for your device type or operating system, e.g. ‘add to homepage ios’ or ‘add to homepage mobile’
