We asked one of our early adopters write about his experiences with Famundo’s new Outlook Sync Plugin.
I have to admit I was a bit hesitant to use Famundo’s sync plugin at first. Both my wife and I use our Blackberries to keep our work schedules on but since we have been using Famundo for several months now, I have been keeping most of our families schedule in it. I know that the whole idea of using Famundo is to keep everyone on the same page, but when it actually came down to syncing, it made me kind of nervous.
But I finally got up the courage to give it a try, allowing myself plenty of time if anything got messed up and, in a word, it worked great!
I want to let you know the steps I took in hopes that I can help other people who are considering using it.
First, since most of my family events were in Famundo it was a no brainer to start with my Famundo calendars as my master calendar. I installed the Famundo Outlook Sync Plugin and did what is called a Recover, which refreshed all of the Outlook data with data from my Famundo. This was a very quick process, even though I have over 1,000 events in Famundo.
Then I used the Blackberry software to sync all my Outlook data into my Blackberry. Again, it worked great!
I did the same from my wife’s computer, using her Famundo login in the sync plugin and brought the family’s events into Outlook.
Now came the acid test. Since my wife schedules her work appointments in her Blackberry, we needed to sync both ways. I set up her Famundo sync profile so that the events that come from Outlook are assigned to her. And viola! When we ran sync between Famundo and her Outlook, all the events that were on her Blackberry came into Famundo as HER appointments.
There are a few problems that I noticed. First, Outlook and the Blackberry only have one calendar. When all the Famundo calendars are brought in, there is no way to distinguish whom the event belongs to. So what I have been doing is adding the family member’s name at the beginning of the event description in Famundo, so when it comes into Outlook, it lets you know who the event is for. This might be something you should look into in the future.
The other thing is that if you schedule an event in Outlook, you can only assign it to one calendar when you sync back to Famundo. So you really can’t add events for other family members unless you want to go into Famundo later and change them. So what I do is schedule everything in Famundo and there is no problem.
Famundo is great! Thanks again.
