[ARCHIVED] Can I duplicate Scheduler appointment groups to repeat in upcoming weeks?

[gmcguire2]

I was able to figure out how to add Scheduler appointment groups to my course calendar for the first week of class, however, we would like to make these sign ups continuous throughout the semester. Is there a way to duplicate a Scheduler appointment groups similar to how you can duplicate an event in your calendar? Or even to duplicate a single appointment group?

This seems like something that should be possible but there are no options for duplicate like that available for a calendar event. 

These times continue all semester so it seems tedious to have to manually type in each 4 sessions a day, 4 days a week, for 15 weeks.

Hi gmcguire2

You can set multiple dates when you set up your first appointment schedule - using the date filed, click the "+" sign, then select the next date, etc. This guide will help How do I add a Scheduler appointment...?

I just tested this and it seemed to work just fine. Never have used the Scheduler before, so thank you for this opportunity!

Hi, @kmeeusen  - 

I know this is a couple years old, but it came up in a search for me as I was trying to help a faculty member who wanted to set a consistent, repeated appointment sign-up time for student consultation throughout the semester. Wouldn't the approach that you suggest treat all those dates added together as one appointment group - limiting each student to one sign-up time slot within all of those dates? 

It looks like a request for a recurring appointment group has been present in the Canvas Community since 2015 (and remains open for voting): https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Idea-Conversations/Scheduler-recurring-events/idi-p/359603#commen... 

Thought it worth asking/clarifying if others search for a similar answer...
