Letting your calendar push you around
If you work for a company that uses Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, calendar entries and meeting
invitations from coworkers can be
pushed
to your device so that they show up on the screen mo-
ments after they're entered, even if they're entered on computers at work. Setting up an account to
facilitate this pushing of calendar entries to your iPad is a breeze, although you should check with
your company's tech or IT department to make sure that your employer allows it. Then follow these
steps:
1.
Tap Settings
⇒
Mail, Contacts, Calendars
⇒
Add Account.
2.
From the Add Account list, tap Microsoft Exchange.
3.
Fill in the e-mail address, username, password, and description fields, and then tap Next.
4.
If required, enter your server address on the next screen that appears.
The iPad supports something called the Microsoft Autodiscovery service, which uses your
name and password to automatically determine the address of the Exchange server. The rest
of the fields should be filled in with the e-mail address, username, password, and description
you just entered.
5.
Tap Next.
