automatic I set up DaviCal for a family business. Nice being able to sync phones with PCs.
But they have one specific requirement, and I wonder if a suitable client sw exists:
The boss (or an assistant) usually plans the week for everybody, updating all their calendars directly. Currently, they do this using iCal on a mac, or the lightning extension to thunderbird.
The problem then, is that they schedule an event with 5-10 people, and then they have to create the same event over and over in 5-10 calendars.
Is there a client (web-based or linux based or mac based) where you can create an event *once* and simply select which calendars it will be added into?
Note that such a calendar update is not a request, it is more like a work order. (The boss allocated you to an event - you go there at the right time.) So there cannot be a confirm/reject step, and no email involved. Some of the users don't use computers much and certainly not email. The boss update their calendar, and on the next automatic sync the users iPhone (or whatever) is updated. It must be this simple, no user involvement needed, beyond looking at their phones to see what to do today.
The system is already working, but adding a bus trip manually to 10 calendars is backwards. I guess the caldav protocol itself aren't set up for adding one event into many calendars? But such repeated action is something the client sw should be able to do instead of the boss. So, do such sw exist already?
