WFM for Outlook

Add-in for Outlook that syncs your WFM schedule into your calendar, with optional filtering of segments.

Prerequisites

Quick-start guide

  1. Exit Outlook.
  2. Install the add-in by clicking here. Future updates are automatic with ClickOnce technology.
  3. Launch Outlook and locate the new WFM for Outlook tab in the ribbon.
  4. Configure Meeting Options to determine how synced segments appear on your calendar.
  5. Click the Sync Now button to do an immediate pull from WFM.

Technical details

The default settings are:

  • Exclusive sync mode meaning all segments will be synced unless they are excluded inside the Segment Filter
  • Research, Shift, and Meal segments are excluded
  • Sync happens every 8 hours
  • Each sync pulls the next 28 days of your schedule
  • New meetings are prepended with "WFM: " and tagged with a yellow category

The sync logic is very basic:

  1. Delete all future WFM events from your calendar.
  2. Recreate them based on your WFM schedule.

Installation issues

Runtime issues

  • Each time WFM for Outlook does a sync, it maintains a sync log at %APPDATA%\WFM For Outlook\sync.log. Look in here to potentially spot what the issue is. Reach out to mahuynh@microsoft.com and attach your sync log for in-depth issues.
