We have separated the link buttons into the provider’s headings, “Google” and “Microsoft” respectively
Added a new calendar section for Google and Microsoft, when the account has been linked
This includes a toggle to enable or disable calendar support
A dropdown is also shown which will fetch a list of the user’s calendars. They can then select up to 20 calendars to be included in their availability calculations
Added a confirmation popup when unlinking an account
A warning will be shown under the correct integration if they have been notified that the connection has expired
Tooltip against the Google entry on Linked accounts to explain when you tick the calendar availability you consent to the connection between Google and EPAProepaPRO
Notifications
Info |
---|
Two new notifications have been added to EPAPro epaPRO to accommodate the new extensions to our Microsoft and Google integrations. |
...
Microsoft Integration Expired - Sent to the user when EPAPro epaPRO fails to automatically refresh their Microsoft link
Google Integration Expired - Sent to a user when EPAPro epaPRO fails to automatically refresh their Google link
...
This will provide additional data for the availability calculations within EPAProepaPRO, especially when the user is not part of the Awarding Organisation’s Microsoft organisation.
The screen changes for linking accounts are covered in Profile Screen changes, please see link on how the Linked Accounts screen has changed.
...
The EPA Availability calendar, shown when booking an element, will now include the new events the user has in the calendars they select when linking the Microsoft account. As with the existing organisation link this will show as “Busy” blocks if the user is not available.
EPAPro epaPRO has a setting that can be enabled called “Show Events Details” under the Microsoft Teams tab. This setting for organisation accounts, will show the title of the event within EPAProepaPRO, this is not the case for a Microsoft account that a user has linked. Even if this setting is enabled, EPAPro epaPRO will replace the event’s title with “Private Event”. This is because the user may be linking their personal Microsoft account, that isn’t linked to the AO’s Microsoft account.
...
We have extended our Google integration to now support the user’s calendars and feed additional data into the availability calculations within EPAProepaPRO.
There have been some screen changes to the linked accounts tab on the user profile, see Profile Screen changes for details.
After linking Google to your EPAPro epaPRO account there will now be new Calendar options, similar to the Microsoft extension, this allows the user to select calendars they would like to be used for availability calculations within EPAProepaPRO. The events on these calendars will then be fed into the Planning Meeting Booking slot system and EPA availability calendar.
...
The planning meeting booking calculations will now make use of any Google calendars users have linked to EPAProepaPRO. The events on their calendar that are set to “Busy” will now make them unavailable during that time.
...

During the linking process Google will request the user ticks the permissions they would like to grant to EPAProepaPRO. So that availability calculations are supported for the user, the three calendar permissions must be ticked, otherwise, EPAPro epaPRO may be unable to retrieve events from the user’s calendar. (see below) |
Considerations
Note |
---|
This work has meant a number of changes and improvements were made behind the scenes to our existing organisation-based Microsoft 365 integration.This means that you may need to relink the organisation account, if the availability is not showing as you intend. |
