I need an online application in which I share to a bunch of people (by their emails) a time period, with a certain granularity. Let's say one week from day X to day Y, with time slots of 1 hour and half, and asking people to fill them in order to book their slot (they should see slot availability). Is there a free web app that is capable of doing that?
I regularly use google calendar to invite/share with my colleagues for the meetings. It allows them to respond yes/no to my invitation. I also use it for scheduling my busy work slots so that it will remind me of at the right time. If you need to know more about setting up sharing appointment slots in Google calendar, you can refer at

There are also other meeting scheduler apps that might suits well for your needs; please see the following.

In my team, we have a rotating on-call schedule. I'd like a reminder to ping the person on-call weekly. Currently, the only solutions I have are to schedule a reminder for every person on the team with alternating lengths, or to just remind 'check the on-call schedule.'
Is there any way to set a variable in a reminder which pulls from a list?
I'm currently tracking who's on-call through PagerDuty, so if I can pull from there within a reminder, that'd be great. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be possible with PagerDuty's limited integration, which is centered on raising alerts and creating channels. There's a PagerDuty /pd oncall command, but it doesn't work without human input, even if the command is used as a reminder.
I'm developing an application, which needs to use calendar and I've decided to try a ready-made solution - Google Calendar API. I'm making calls from my backend to google and I only store calendars' and ids in my database, everything else is stored in google. So I'm writing a proxy basically and everything is going ok, but I've bumped into this article https://support.google.com/a/answer/2905486?hl=en, and now I'm really worried about those "short periods of time" in exceeding limits. I haven't found more accurate numbers. Well, if those "short periods of time" are ~1h, then I'm in the trouble and I need to implement my own calendar system. Can anyone dispel my doubts? This is not a pet-project.
Answer:
There's no public official information regarding the exact period this is referring to.
Nevertheless, after some testing, it seems like the short periods of time are longer than what your workflow would require.
Research:
Since the limit that is troubling you is calendar creation (from Avoid Calendar use limits):
If you create more than 60 new calendars in a short period, your calendar might go into read-only mode for several hours.
I did some tests with a Workspace account, in order to see what's the maximum rate of calendar creation that won't result in this limit being exceeded.
More specifically, I tried creating calendars periodically, with several different periods, ranging from 5 seconds to 15 minutes.
For most of these periods (from 5 seconds to 10 minutes at least), the following exception started showing up after creating 40-something calendars approximately:
You have been creating or deleting too many calendars or calendar events in a short time
After this, no more calendars could be created for some time.
For 15-minute period, I got the error after creating around 80-something calendars, so I guess the maximum rate of creation is close from there (1 calendar created every >15 minutes). Since this rate is not disclosed, though, it could change without notice, so take this with a grain of salt.
The original poster, GorgeousPuree, also made some testing, with results in accordance with what I got (see comment):
I also made my expirements and I've got a timeout after 25 calendars in 1 and 3 minutes intervals.
Conclusion:
In any case, the short period seems to be way too long for the worst case scenario:
60 calendars in 5 mins
Is there a way for me to make multiple all-day events at weird intervals. If so, is there a way to make it a template so I can do it faster?
I have a very repetitive business that has identical deadlines for every project I am given. Currently, I have to add all of these deadlines into my outlook calendar manually. I'd like a short cut where I can select a template or something that automatically programs the various all-day calendar items that I currently create manually.
For instance, I get a project today and I want to make an all-day reminder in 15 days to remind me to complete my first task. 7 days later, I need an all-day reminder for my second task. 45 days later, I need a reminder for my third task.
The other scenario is deadlines. I want to add an all-day event in my outlook calendar for the final deadline for a project. I'd like a 15 day reminder and a 5 day reminder to appear on my calendar as all-day events. I know there is a way to add a single reminder, but if it pops up while I'm away from my desk, I tend to ignore the reminder. An all-day calendar item is much harder to ignore.
Is there some way to automatically do this through a macro or function of MS Outlook of which I'm unaware. I keep my life in outlook, so I'd like for all of my deadlines to appear there as well.
TIA
I'm implementing meeting feature. Users come and pick slots and send to invitees. Once invitees pick the slots, the meeting gets confirmed Here I need to cancel the meeting if the slots expires. I'm using scheduler for every 2 min to perform this check. I think its bad to check frequently. Is there any other solution ?. Its a Rails 4.x application with Mysql database.
I am trying to understand how to use the FHIR Questionnaire resource, and have a specific question regarding this.
My project is specifically regarding how a citizen in our country could be responding to Questionnaires via a web app, which are then submitted to the FHIR server as QuestionnaireAnswers, to be read/analyzed by a health professional.
A FHIR-based system could have lots of Questionnaires (Qs), groups of Qs or even specific Qs would be targeted towards certain users or groups of users. The display of the questionnare to the citizen could also be based on a Care-plan of a sort, for example certain Questionnaires needing filling-in in the weeks after surgery. The Questionnaires could also be regular ones that need to be filled in every day or week permanently, to support data collection on the state of a chronic disease.
What I'm wondering is if FHIR has a resource which fits into organizing the 'logistics' of displaying the right form to the right person. I can see CarePlan, which seems to partly fit. Or is this something that would typically be handled out-of-FHIR-scope by specific server implementations?
So, to summarize:
Which resource or mechanism would a health professional use to set up that a patient should answer certain Questionnaires, either regularly or as part of for example a follow-up after a surgery. So this would include setting up the schedule for the form(s) to be filled in, and possibly configure what would happen if the form wasn't filled in as required.
Which resource (possibly the same) or mechanism would be used for the patient's web app to retrieve the relevant Questionnaire(s) at a given point in time?
At the moment, the best resource for saying "please capture data of type X on schedule Y" would be DiagnosticOrder, though the description probably doesn't make that clear. (If you'd be willing to click the "Propose a change" link and submit a change request for us to clarify, that'd be great.) If you wanted to order multiple questionnaires, then CarePlan would be a way to group that.
The process of taking a complex schedule (or set of schedules) and turning that into a simple list of "do this now" requests that might be more suitable for a mobile application to deal with is scheduled for DSTU 2.1. Until then, you have a few options for the mobile app:
- have it look at the CarePlan and complex DiagnosticOrder schedule and figure things out itself
- have a server generate a List of mini 1-time DiagnosticOrders and/or Orders identifying the specific "answer" times
- roll your own mechanism using the Other/Basic resource
Depending on your timelines, you might want to stay tuned to discussions by the Patient Care and Orders and Observations work groups as they start dealing with the issues around workflow management starting next month in Atlanta.
