i have a solution where i would like dates from different files, All hosted on our company fm server, to show up in ical.
one file is containing "production_orders", and i would like to show their start and endates in ical. the other file is, for example "purchaseorders" where i would like to show the delivery dates. in my solution these tables reside in different files and i would like to know
a) IF i can show dates from different files with the licence i bought
b) what the best practice is , install a "events" table in each file, or pull the data all into one eventstable and then filter.
thanks for any tips

It is best to use one of your files as your Zulu "hub". However, you don't need to import data or anything like that: you'll add to this file one table occurrence for each file you wish to publish. Then you'll create one field mapping layout for each of these table occurrences, and publish each one. So each table you wish to publish gets its own field mapping layout (which is based on its own table occurrence) but all these layouts are in the same file.

Hope that helps,

John

Dear John, that was exactly what I wanted to know.
