FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

• Q: Why can't I sync my Pipeline tasks in Outlook for Mac?
• A: Currently, Outlook for Mac (2016 and 2011) does not offer the ability to subscribe to internet calendars. As a workaround, you can login to Outlook on the Web (outlook.com) to sync your Paperless Pipeline tasks to your calendar:
   
  1. Copy the Outlook Calendar link from your Pipeline Tasks page. While hovering over the Outlook link, right click, then select Copy Link Address.
  2. Log into your Outlook account and go to your Calendar.
  3. Right-click in the navigation pane where you see Other Calendars. Select Open Calendar.
  4. Paste the copied Pipeline URL into the Internet Calendar box.
      
•  Once subscribed, the calendar will appear in Outlook for Mac the next time you launch the program. 
   
• Q: Do I have to sync all tasks or can I sync certain tasks?
• A: If you don't select any filters, Pipeline will sync all tasks you have permission to view. You can filter tasks using the Filter or the @ Your Tasks options on the Tasks page. Once you run either of those filters then sync, that sync will only include tasks that meet the filter you specified.
