Setting iCal feed ranges

The iCal feed range in Calendar Manager controls how far into the past (up to 12 months) and future (up to 18 months) the feed looks for events to publish. The default is 0 days past and 3 months future; changes take about 15 minutes to take effect.

💡Quick answers

  • Where is the iCal feed range setting in Calendar Manager? In Calendar Manager > Settings tab > iCal Feed Range Settings section; use the dropdowns to set past and future ranges.
  • What is the default iCal feed date range? 0 days into the past and 3 months into the future.
  • How far into the past and future can the range extend? Up to 12 months in the past and 18 months into the future.
  • Does a larger date range affect how often the feed syncs? Yes; more events means a larger .ical file, and extremely large calendars will sync less frequently.

The default date range for iCal calendars is 0 days into the past and 3 months into the future, but you can set your iCal calendar date range to display events ranging from from 0 days to 18 months into the future, and from 0 days to 12 months in the past. To do this, open up the Settings tab in Calendar Manager, and find the "iCal Feed Range Settings" controls. Use the dropdowns to set how far in the past, and how far into the future, the calendar should look to find events.

Please allow about 15 minutes after updating this setting for the iCal feed files to refresh.

Important Note

The more events that are on your iCal feed, the larger the .ical file will be; extremely busy calendars will not update end users as frequently.
