Click: Calendar. then how feeds in the bottom right of the calendar.
There are 2 links.
Company feed will show all jobs and events for everyone... a lot of times when companies have a cell phone used for on-call CSRs, they will put this feed in the subscription of the phones calendar as a backup calendar.
Private feed is what most techs and sales reps use as a way of quickly seeing their calendar from the calendar app on their phone and to do this you need to copy the link and paste it in as a subscription on the device.
Copy the link and paste it in your subscriptions on your device.
Example IPhone:
Click:
- Settings
- Accounts & Passwords
- Add Account
- Other
- Add Subscribed Calendar
Paste in the Private feed from ThermoGRID at the bottom right of the calendar.

This way they will appear in this order for this department on the calendar.
