ICS Renderer
Feature
The App ICS Renderer creates a Reminder-file (*.ics) for Microsoft Outlook..
The main benefit is that the URL to the generating service can be included in an E-Mail sent via a Compliance Rule or a Workflow.
URL composition
The host is the name or full-qualified name of the application server. In the below example the localhost is used instead.
The relative path to the ICS service is /SPS/Portal/User/CUSTICSRenderer.ashx

To use such links in E-Mails, they need to be combined from the host name and the various parameters by concatenation or any other means of computation, such as placeholder-replacement (string format).
The parameters are taken from the URL and returned as the resulting ICS file.
