Abstract
Efficient creation of a new schedule item is provided. Aspects include a quick create system for enabling an efficient schedule item creation experience when utilizing a scheduling application, such as a calendar application, a task list application, or a to-do list application, or an application with scheduling functionalities. A user can select a quick create option to cause a display of one or more icons designating predefined or learned schedule item types, which can be automatically or selectively moved to a desired timeslot in the user's schedule. In some examples, an icon can be dragged laterally within a timeslot to toggle between schedule item types. When a commitment input is received, a new schedule item is inserted into the user's schedule, and schedule item details are automatically populated into the schedule item based on existing schedule items or based on preset schedule item types.
