It is possible for you to export the data from a secondary calendar created under your name in the old (SUN) calendar system, and import that into a calendar into Zimbra.If you have the need to do this, follow the steps below, or submit a Help Desk ticket for assistance.

Exporting Calendar Data from LPS Convergence (Sun)

  1. Login to the old LPS Convergence calendar tool and choose ‘Calendar‘ at the bottom left.
  2. Place a checkmark beside the specific calendar that you need to export.
  3. At the top pf the list of calendars, look for the icon (the last one) that drops down and offers you the choice of ‘Export.’

    Export Menu in Convergence

  4. In the Export window that pops up, make sure the appropriate calendar is selected, and select the date range of events to export.

    Be mindful of the calendar and date range selected when exporting from Convergence.

  5. Click the ‘Export‘ button. This will save an .ics file to your computer that contains the information for all of your calendar events. You will be able to import this file to Zimbra.

Importing Calendar Data into LPS Zimbra

  1. Login to our new Zimbra email system. Click the Preferences tab along the top row.
  2. On the left side of the screen select ‘Import/Export‘.
  3. In the ‘Import’ section of the window, click the ‘Choose File‘ button. From the pop-up, select the .ics file of calendar data (on your computer) that you previously exported from Convergence.

    Choose an existing calendar as the destination for this new data, or create a new calendar to hold it.

  4. Click ‘Destination‘ to select an existing Zimbra calendar to add this imported data to, or click the ‘New‘ button at the bottom of the pop-up window to create a new calendar for the data to be added to.

For assistance in this process, please place a Help Desk ticket.

NOTE:  If your secondary calendar was a calendar used by other staff in your building, department or across the district (IEP calendar, Facilites Use Calendar, Club Calendar, etc) please request a resource calendar from Computing Services via a Helpdesk ticket.  Having a resource calendar created allows the calendar to belong to the building or department instead of an individual.  We can make one or many people administrator(s) of the calendar and it can be shared with whomever you wish just like other calendars.
