-Five Ways to Set Up an Event:

Google Appointment Calendar App

Oct 19, 2017 In that popover in the new Google Calendar, there's a rather obvious Appointment Slots button under the event name, something that turns out was in the old Google Calendar but somewhat more hidden and hard to use. It's a way to mark time on your calendar as free for meetings—with a link you can share with others so they can book an. Despite best efforts, double booking events happens to everyone. Learn how to prevent double booking on Google Calendar and discover how meeting room scheduling software improves conflict notifications to avoid double booking meetings at the office. I am trying to set up appointment booking for a language school account that I set up today. The school's space is shared by 20+ teachers and we would like to make the space available to book appointment slots so the teachers can optimize the use of the space without having to manually check availability and book the space with someone who would manage the space.

Google Calendar makes it easy to schedule meetings, appointments, classes, or events with specific start and end times. A 'calendar entry' is considered to be anything that you would add to your calendar - be it a 2 day conference, a 1 hour meeting, or a 3 hour dinner. You can schedule all of these things on Google Calendar, and even have entries overlap with each other. There are five different ways to set up a calendar event.

1-Create Button
Click on the create button and add the event details on the calendar

2-Quick Add
To help simplify the calendar entry, 'Quick Add' lets you type in a single sentence and then interprets what you entered and adds the appropriate calendar entry. Quick add recipe for events is to enter 'what,' 'who,' 'where,' and 'when' (only 'what' and 'when' are required).

3-Calendar List
You can also create a calendar entry directly from your calendar list on the left side of your Calendar window.

4-Click and drag on the calendar

In 'Day', 'Week', and 'Month' view you can click and drag on the calendar to create events that span over a few hours or days.

5-Click on the calendar

In 'month' view, you can simply click directly on the day to enter an event. To add more details to the event, click on 'Edit Event'.

-Appointment Slots:

Google Calendar allows you to set up an event as appointment slots.

The Appointment slots feature lets you set time slots on your calendar that other people can book from their own Google Calendar

Examples of use:

A professor could allow his or her students to reserve time during office hours each week.
A classroom teacher could allow parents to book student conference times.
A tutor could use it to allow students to sign up for open tutoring time.

This is a handy tool with many possibilities! Read on to learn how to set up and start using it.

NOTE: Users must have a Google Calendar account to book an appointment.

Setting up an appointment slot

You can set up an Appointment Slot when you're viewing Calendar in Week view or any Day view. The Appointment Slot option won't show up if you're viewing Calendar in 2 week, 3 week, 4 week, Agenda, or Month view. Learn More about Calendar views and how to set custom view options.

To start, you’ll need to set a time slot that you’d like to make available for appointments. To do that, follow these steps:

Sign into your Apps Calendar account
Click anywhere in the calendar grid. In the event bubble that pops up, click Appointment slots.
Indicate the details for the appointment slot using these fields:

What: Enter a short title for the appointment(s), like “Mrs. Smith’s Office Hours.”
Calendar drop-down menu: Choose the calendar you’d like to create the appointment slot on.
Offer as a single appointment: Select this button if the entire time slot will be for one appointment.
Split into smaller slots: Select this option if you’d like to allow multiple appointments to be scheduled during the slot. Simply select and indicate the duration for each appointment (in minutes) in the text box to the right.

If you’re all finished, click Create slots on the bubble, or continue to the next step to add more details to your appointment slot.
Click Edit details to open the appointment slot details page and add more information, such as a location or description, or to make the appointment slot repeat. To make the appointment slot recur, click the Repeat checkbox to choose your settings. Read more about repeating eventshere.
