Notes before start
We have verified that implementing sync works with the scenario described below.
Possible scenarios that might cause issues with the implementation:
- Multiple domains
- Accounts that have been migrated from one server to another, i.e. Microsoft Exchange 2007 -> Office 365
In these scenarios Customer Support can check the error message seen on our error logs but troubleshooting should be done by the service provider or Microsoft. We don't provide support for Office 365 environment management.

It is possible to limit what activities are synced from Severa to Outlook based on activity type. Visma Severa's project tasks cannot be synced from severa to outlook calendar. Note! It is not possible to restrict what calendar entries are synced from Outlook to Severa. Private entries from Outlook are matched to activity type "Personal" if such an activity type exists in Visma Severa. All other entries get the Visma Severa default activity type. Read more about activity types.
