Once your calendar is connected to Kumospace, it  automatically syncs both public and private events. Here's a detailed breakdown of how each type of event is displayed:

  1. Public Events:
    Public events will be fully visible on a user’s profile card in Kumospace. This means that other users can see the Calendar Event details such as the event title and time, giving insight into the user's schedule and availability.

  2. Private Events:
    Private events function differently to protect the user’s privacy. Instead of showing event details, private events only reflect the user’s availability status:

    • Available: If the Calendar Event indicates the user is Free, they will appear as available in Kumospace.
    • Busy: If the Calendar  Event marks the user as Busy, they will show as unavailable or busy within Kumospace.
