Create multiple calendar events at one time

Hello Folks! In case you hadn't heard, you are now able to select multiple (non-contiguous) dates when entering calendar events! Select your contracts / locations, and choose each date throughout the year that you want to create those events for. This will create all your selected dates in a calendar series. Then, if you need to make an edit, the calendar will ask if you'd like to edit "all dates in the series", or "just this event". This feature should greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to setup your district calendar each year. Thanks for the great feedback, and keep the good ideas coming!

Adding Modified Schedules to Calendars

It would be great if there was a way to click more than one day at a time when adding modified schedules, holidays, etc. to position calendars. It is time consuming to make adjustments only one day at a time.

Dennis Grice: We have some minor UI changes to the calendar that we will push out over the next couple of days that really pave the way for this big present!!! :)

OPTION FOR ADDING MULTIPLE DATES TO A DISTRICT CALENDAR SCHEDULE

I know this has been mentioned before, but having the option to select multiple days for a school/district calendar is GREATLY needed! Most of our 10 districts have an early release day somewhere in the week. In order to put that in place, I have to do 49 separate events times 10 districts, totaling 490 separate different entries. THAT'S A LOT!! Thanks for considering this need.

Adding Events to Calendar is Tedious

Dennis Grice
I am currently working on entering our modified schedules into the Red Rover calendar for the upcoming school year, so it is time for my annual rant asking, “Why must I add the modified schedules one day at a time?” Because we have period schedules that differ depending on the day, I must click a day, add the modified schedule for that day for Middle School, save it, then click the same day again, and enter the modified schedule for High School. Then rinse and repeat for every school day from August to May.
It would be wonderful if I could multiple select all the days where Middle School has a “late start” for example, set the modified schedule and click save, and be done. For now I just need to put on a good movie or podcast and spend the day entering days one at a time.
Hoping there might be a more efficient way of doing this. If not, thanks for listening, and acknowledging the tediousness of my situation.

Copy Calendar Events

We have several days in our calendar that are identical as far as the event types, impacted contracts, etc. It would be nice to be able to copy the events from one day to another and include all the impacted contracts.

The calendar building is very archaic. It would be nice if we could copy a calendar and edit instead of creating each one individually. Adding multiple events at one time would be a huge time saver. Selecting all the days in a year that fall under one category would be an amazing start.
We also use TimeClock Plus for time tracking. Their calendars are very easy to build, you might sneak a peak at what they do.

SETTING UP CALENDARS to keep filters

I would love the option to save filters. when I'm setting up calendars for a specific contract anytime I come back to the calendar screen I have to reselect the group I was working on.

When building a calendar for a school or employee, it would be nice to have a screen with all 12 months on it so you can add the days to each month without having to go in and out of the screens. It is very time consuming. Also, it would be nice to be able to select days on a calendar, and bypass Sat and Sun, again time consuming. Thank you
