A useful feature of CMS4Schools Calendar Module is its ability to sync events from your rSchoolToday Calendar. The events will be synced to your Calendar Module and can be displayed on your site using the Calendar of Events tool, Upcoming Events tool, and Mini Calendar tool.
If your organization uses rSchoolToday and you don't currently have the integration set up, please contact us via support by submitting a ticket or emailing us at support.cms@4schools.net indicating your wish to begin the integration process and provide your rSchoolToday Calendar URL(s).
Sync Timing
- The event sync runs every hour for events that are within 45 days of today. If you need events to sync immediately, run a Live Update.
- A complete event sync runs overnight to add/update events up to 12 months into the future and 90 days in the past.

- Save and Update: Apply and save any changes that have been made in the Manage rSchool Feed or Manage rSchool Schedules sections.
Manage rSchool Schedules
- Search: Search for specific schedules or feeds.
- rSchool Schedule: The names of every schedule that is being pulled in from the rSchool Activity Scheduler. Clicking on the column header will sort the table by this column.
- CMS4Schools Event Category: The category in the CMS4Schools calendar that the schedule is being fed into. Newly discovered schedules are assigned to the default category specified in the Manage rSchool Feed section. Clicking on the column header will sort the table by this column.
- Current Events: The number of events (including past events in the past 90 days) that have been pulled in from this schedule. Schedules that no longer have any events must be deleted explicitly. Clicking on the column header will sort the table by this column.

Live Update
- Locations/Facilities Mapping: By default, the rSchoolToday Location field will be mapped to the Location field in CMS4Schools.
