    <p>I'm working on a python app that uses the gdata to programmatically create and mantain a calendar for groups of people. <strong>Everything works OK, except for the reminders in shared calendars</strong>.</p> <p>Some context: when you create a new project, a google calendar is created for it under your name. And when you invite collaborators, that same calendar is shared with them. That way, when you create tasks everybody can see them in their calendars. All of this is implemented and works fine. </p> <p>Now, I wanted people to get reminded a day before about pending tasks. So I did this:</p> <pre><code>event = CalendarEventEntry() #more stuff with the event, such as setting start and end times... for w in event.when: w.reminder.append(Reminder(days=1, method="email")) </code></pre> <p>The thing is, <strong>the reminder is only being sent to the owner of the calendar</strong>, not the other people with whom it's shared. </p> <p>I've found info about google calendar stating that it should <a href="http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=3e63cca8af3aaba7&amp;hl=en" rel="noreferrer">be done manually in each user's settings</a>, which is a solution I don't like, as the whole point of my app is updating your calendar programmatically; I've also read that it could be solved by creating groups and using group calendars, but that would mean (a) my existing users wouldn't be benefited and (b) probably significant overhead, which I would happily undertake if there's no decent solution for this particular issue.</p>

    1. COThe Google employee/bot in the thread you linked to is saying that this is intentionally not allowed; reminders per user (set for each calendar and able to be overridden by event), not event (shared or not), which makes a lot of sense to me. I think you've got your answer there, though it isn't the one you want.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
