The scheduler in Eclipse maintains calendars of scheduled events and tasks for Eclipse users. In addition, you can use the scheduler to determine where other users are working and when they are available for meetings. During your work day, you might frequently be away from the Eclipse system, and use Microsoft Outlook's calendar functionality to schedule your meeting and appointments. Syncing your Outlook calendar to Eclipse allows other Eclipse users to see your schedule, and determine when you are available.

Important: When you sync your Microsoft Outlook calendar to Eclipse, the system deletes any events you had scheduled in the Eclipse scheduler, and replaces them with your Outlook calendar appointments. |
