[RESOLVED] Starfish Advisor Calendars no longer syncing with Outlook Calendar

UPDATE:

Advisors and staff should now be able to sync their Outlook calendar availability with Starfish again.

 

The calendar sync functionality between Outlook and Starfish is currently not working for advisors/staff. This means the Starfish software will no longer be able to see your Outlook availability when creating your Starfish schedule.  In the meantime, all future unavailable times will need to be added manually in Starfish itself.

This is currently being investigated and we will send an update once have more information.
