So... I work at a school. I'm mostly a history and theory of knowledge teacher, but I'm also a "teacher leader" (read: mid-level management....) and as such have been trying to set up Google Calendar to accept meeting requests for students.
Last year I slowly taught myself how to create an appointment schedule with Google Calendar, and it was a game changer in many ways. However, given that we're a school, our daily schedule is hopelessly complex and, well, annoying. I do however have two basic times that I would like to set myself available for appointments each day. This is fairly easy to do with the Appointment Schedule feature. HOWEVER, on some days I teach during those times and therefore unable to appoint myself. When I do teach is obviously based on a schedule, but it's not Monday to Friday but rather from Day 1 to Day 8 as a rotation.
All too much information. Basically, I'm wondering if it's possible through a script or otherwise to do this:
When on a given Google Calendar it is a "Day 1" to insert "Class" during certain times of the day. When it is "Day 2" to insert "Class" during other certain times of the day, and et cetera through "Day 8." This would basically populate my class schedule a bit more quickly and accurately than me typing each class period in. I learned that "Appointment Schedule" automatically marks as busy any appointment that would be scheduled when I am otherwise occupied.
I'm not sure any of this makes sense. Basically I'd like a series of recurring events that don't recur weekly or monthly but recur based on events from another calendar. Possible?
Probably not and I'll just stop being lazy and type in my classes...
