Synchronizing appointment scheduling, employee's events and leaves

Which appointments and events are synchronized?

Once set up carried out as described above, whenever an event is added, updated, or deleted in PlanningPME Web Access, it is automatically exported to the person's Google Calendar. The synchronization of the data is in real time, whatever the period initially chosen.
