Synchronizing with KDE Kontact

KOrganizer, Kalendar and KAddressBook can synchronize your calendar, contacts and tasks with a Collaboration platform
server.

This can be done by following these steps depending on if you use KOrganizer or Kalendar:

In KOrganizer:

1. Open KOrganizer and in the calendar list (bottom left) right-click and choose Add Calendar:

1 4 - Swiss Tech
2. In the resulting list of resources, pick DAV groupware resource:
2 4 - Swiss Tech

In Kalendar:

1. Open Kalendar and in the menu bar open the setting and then choose Calendar Sources -> Add Calendar:

3 4 - Swiss Tech

2. In the resulting list of resources, pick DAV groupware resource:

4 4 - Swiss Tech

In KOrganizer and Kalendar:

3. Enter your username. As password, you need to generate an app-password/token (Learn more):

5 3 - Swiss Tech
4. Choose Collaboration platform as Groupware server option:
6 3 - Swiss Tech

5. Enter your Collaboration platform server URL and, if needed, installation path (anything that comes after the first /, for example mycollaboration-platform in https://exampe.com/mycollaboration0platform). Then click next:

7 2 - Swiss Tech

6. You can now test the connection, which can take some time for the initial connection. If it does not work, you can go back and try to fix it with other settings:

8 2 - Swiss Tech
9 1 - Swiss Tech

7. Pick a name for this resource, for example Work or Home. By default, both CalDAV (Calendar) and CardDAV (Contacts) are synced:

10 1 - Swiss Tech

Note
You can set a manual refresh rate for your calendar and contacts resources. By default this setting is set to 5 minutes and should be fine for the most use cases. When you create a new appointment it is synced to Collaboration platform right away. You may want to change this for saving your power or cellular data plan, so that you can update with a right-click on the item in the calendar list.

8. After a few seconds to minutes depending on your internet connection, you will find your calendars and contacts inside the KDE Kontact applications KOrganizer, Kalendar and KAddressBook as well as Plasma calendar applet:

11 1 - Swiss Tech
12 1 - Swiss Tech
13 1 - Swiss Tech
14 1 - Swiss Tech
