WebCalendarCreator Conversion Information
If you're a user of Grafix Network WebCalendarCreator we've got great news. We have a conversion utility
that will import all of your existing events into Web Calendar Plus format (including repeating events).
The best news is that we will convert your WebCalendarCreator 2002 data even if you haven't already
purchased a copy of Web Calendar Plus. If you're using the trial version we will convert the data for you so you
can see the benefits of Web Calendar Plus.
The following fields will be imported:
- Full Event Name
- Short Cal View Name
- Event URL
- Event Description
- Event Date
- Location
- Start and End Times
- Time zone
- Event Graphic
The layout of the calendar is not imported. Neither are the fields for Name Color and Text Colors
as these don't have a one to one correspondence with Web Calendar Plus. However, Web Calendar Plus is capable of
coloring the foreground and background of a category of events on the main 1-month calendar. For
an example of foreground/background coloring see the sample calendar related to categories by clicking here
Also since Web Calendar Plus meters events individually you cannot have perpetual events on the
calendar. Therefore during the import process an event that repeats perpetually will be converted to an event that
repeats 20 times. If you're using the Basic version of Web Calendar Plus which is limited to 400 events it may be
possible to exceed this limit due to repeating events. We will convert all of your events even if it exceeds the
400 event limit but you'll not be able to add new events. You'll have to either upgrade to the Advanced version or
selectively delete your existing events to bring the total down to the license limit..
We will need you to email an attached copy of your webcal.gcl file which contains all of your data.
Your webcal.gcl file is probably located in the c:\grafix\webcal folder. Click on the link below to start this
process. Note that any existing data in Web Calendar Plus will be overwritten in the conversion process. We will
convert your data once for free. After that standard support charges apply.
