Musco Calendar Export

Last Update: August 13th, 2021

Export your facility calendar to the Musco Lighting software which controls lighting automatically through a schedule. You must have your Musco Control-Link software account and facility information, including Musco Facility IDs and Field IDs, and username/password, which is different than your usual username/password. After receiving this information from Musco, have them turn on the ability to receive data from us. 

Note: If lighting is needed in the daytime, please let Musco know that there is a setting that they will need to update.

Sending Schedule to Musco


  1. Go to the management Calendar. Then click Print Calendar List.
  2. If not using the defaults, select the Location and/or start and end dates.
  3. On the list, you will see a checkbox in front of any entry in the schedule that has a Musco Facility ID and Musco Field ID that is available to schedule to Musco.
  4. Check any items that you wish to send or Select All Dates. This will only select dates that have the Musco information. If there was a previously sent schedule, any unchecked items will be removed, so any items you wish to remain on the schedule should be checked. (Note: The default for scheduled items must be within non-daylight hours, the Musco schedule will not accept the item if it is in daylight hours, and it will not stay checked in our system.) Reminder: contact Musco to change a setting to allow lighting during daylight hours.
  5. After making selections, click Send Schedule to Musco.
Once you send the initial schedule for the selected time period, if you go back into the Calendar list any items that were already sent will be checked. If you wish to make changes to send to Musco, check or uncheck applicable boxes, and send the schedule again.
