Hello,

You would have to write an application yourself in order to do that -- Using the Calendar data API, you could store your templated time information mapped to a specific name, and use that when you create your events. Client libraries from Google are available to access the API in Java, .NET and (through Zend Framework) PHP. Other users have written client libs as well. See http://code.google.com/apis/calendar for more info.

In a totally unsupported fashion, it may be possible for you write a Greasemonkey or Chickenfoot script to accomplish this in the normal Calendar GUI. Essentially, it would involve writing a script (using JavaScript) that runs inside the Greasemonkey/Chickenfoot Firefox extension and adds an additional select box to the event creation page which allows you to choose the time.

Cheers,

-Ryan

I was hoping to set up my work schedule on my calendar but I have 4 different shifts I could work on any given day... (they are not regularly recurring). Is there a way I could name a shift "SHIFT1" (for example) and use it to set up the times so I don't have to enter each time for each day? Someone on the Google Calendar Help group suggested I ask here. :)

Thanks a bunch!
