Agenda Template Meeting End Time

10 replies · 262 views

The  meeting template does not include a meeting end time field, just the start time.  So I have add the end time for each meeting created with that template.
It would be helpful of an end time could be added to the template.
Thank you

The end time is calculated by the length of all the roles in a meeting. We can't arbitrarily set an end time.

To clarify, we requesting that we have the option to set the end time the same as we do when we edit the meeting.  Our club ends at 8pm sharp.  The club believes in time management, one of TMI's lessons.  By not having the option, lessens the value of the template and requires I enter each meeting to add the stop time.  Having the stop time also posts a clean meeting on the calendar for members and guests to see.

On your template add a role called end zero minutes and that will be the end of your meeting time. You will still have to manage all the accumulated roles times to make the meeting end at 8:00

Could you help me understand if there's a limitation preventing the optional end time field from being included in the Template? It would be super helpful to have it there since we already use it when updating meetings.

How are we going to know what to add or cut from your meeting to make it exactly end at 8:00 only you can do that.

When I use the edit a meeting function to include an end time, that doesn't cut anything from the meeting. But it would be helpful if the end date were in the temple.  Meetings should not be open-ended. That sets a bad precedent. Our meeting Toastmaster respects people's time. Our club takes that very seriously.

You can add the meeting end role to the template.
Then any meetings that people have not signed up to yet you can reapply the template and the new role will ba added.

I was talking about the meeting end time. Otherwise it doesn't show on the calendar.

Your meeting are showing a start and end time 75 minutes later, which is the length of your meeting
I am not in your time zone so the times are off

Yes, those are the correct times when looking at it from your time zone.  

If you look at Nov 17, that one was posted using the template - and with your help, updated with the correct template.

Next I will use the edit function to set the end time so it looks like the other calendar meeting.
