2. Under Work profile policies > RCP policy (Premium), set the following to True:

   1. Enable RCP Policy Controls

   2. Enable RCP data sync policy (Configure profiles below)

3. Go to RCP Data Sync profile Configurations (Premium), set or add a separate configuration for:

   1. Importing calendar work profile:

      1. Select Application to Data Sync > Name of Application set to CALENDAR

      2. Select Data Sync Property > Data Sync Property set to IMPORT_DATA

      3. Enable user to data sync on selective applications set to Disable

   2. Exporting calendar to personal profile:

      1. Select Application to Data Sync > Name of Application set to CALENDAR

      2. Select Data Sync Property > Data Sync Property set to EXPORT_DATA
