ARMS allows you to subscribe to any calendar to view it in other software providers' calendars. To share the calendar, the first step is to go into My Dashboard -> My Calendar in ARMS.

Once here, you can hover over the name of the calendar you want to share, and 3 dots will appear on the right side to allow you to access the action menu.

Click on the 3 dots and then click on "Share Calendar."

A menu will pop up giving you access to the unique calendar link that you can utilize to share the chosen calendar with other softwares. Copy the link that shows up in the middle of this screen. You will utilize this link to add to the calendar to your preferred platform following the instructions below.
