Templates

Templates are partially pre-filled calendar and resource data that make it easier to create new data in a consistent way. Coucal includes some built-in templates that are used to define the many creation options under each subcommand.

For example, templates included with the schedule subcommand include:

  • Appointment
  • Meeting
  • Reminder
  • Observance

The work tracker subcommand includes:

  • Task
  • Project
  • Milestone

Saved Templates

You can also define your own templates using the same functionality for creating new data. For any creation command you can add the -save-template=<name> option to save the data as a template.

Saved templates are essentially 'hidden' from most views, but can be specified as the base template for new data via the option -use-template=<name>. You can also list and delete saved templates via the template subcommand.
