Business workflow use case

Book customer meetings without typing a single date.

Click a free slot on the booking grid, pick the customer, and the meeting is booked — the date and time come from the slot.

One person does it all: the coordinator, anyone in the office who books customer meetings, picks a slot and fills in who. There is no approval, number or status — the grid shows what is free.

Use the documented operating model as a starting point, then adapt fields, approvals, reports, or connected areas when your process differs.

Before you start

Put the right records and roles in place.

The customer must already exist in Customers. If the meeting is with a specific colleague, that colleague must exist in Employees; a one-desk business can leave the employee empty.

Documented sequence

From a free slot to a booked meeting.

Each stage identifies the action, handoff, or record change that moves the work forward.

  1. 01

    Pick a free slot — Coordinator

    Open Appointments in the Sales group to see a three-day grid of 30-minute slots from 09:00 to 18:00, with weekends closed. Taken slots are marked, and clicking a free one fills in the time.

  2. 02

    Fill in who and save — Coordinator

    Pick the customer, optionally the employee the meeting is with, and add a short note if useful. After saving, the slot shows as taken on the grid straight away.

Connected work

Carry the record into the next decision.

Related features and workflows reuse the same business records instead of asking teams to rebuild the context.

Current scope

The grid offers only 30-minute weekday slots between 09:00 and 18:00; other times and weekends are not offered.

A starting point, not a fixed package

Fit the grid to your opening hours.

Appointments is an optional module, added to any solution on request, and it adds no settings of its own: the grid runs on weekdays from 09:00 to 18:00 in 30-minute slots. Other opening hours, slot lengths or extra fields can be scoped as a Custom adaptation.

Decision-stage answers

Book an appointment FAQs

How do we avoid double bookings?

Slots that already hold an appointment show as taken on the grid, so a clash is visible at a glance before anyone books.

How do we move or cancel an appointment?

Open the appointment and edit it, or delete it. The grid updates accordingly.

Does an appointment need approval or get a number?

No. There is no number, status or workflow: the appointment is stored with its date and time, and the grid is the record of what is free.

Does every appointment have to name an employee?

No. Only the customer is required. The employee is optional, so a one-desk business simply leaves it empty.
