Import events/sessions from Moodle (or other) calendar

Import events/sessions from Moodle (or other) calendar

Hello,

Is there a way to import events from the Moodle calendar, or other calendars, like ics files?

That would be a great feature - teachers are using Attendance more and more for their face-to-face classes, and that would save them a lot of time (I know there are multiple sessions, but at our University, classes do not always occur so regularly).

Thank you!
Ulrike

Yes - you can import attendance sessions via csv files - however not using ICS files.

Thank you very much Dan.

There is no "import" tab displayed in the interface of the plugin (only export tab) - would you know why that is so ? We use Moodle 3.9 and Attendance 3.9.3.
I found the import session tab in Administration but no configuration concerning the display of an import tab in the activity.

I think the version in github for 3.9 (3.9.4) has the import at activity level feature but you might have to upgrade to a newer Moodle release.
