Libcal Appointments

Getting There...

To manage your availability times and appointments, go to Appointments > Availability

 

Adding Available Times

Use this page to set up your availability - this determines the dates and times that patrons can book an appointment with you. The grid on the right of the screen shows your current availability.

When first starting, your appointment calendar displays only blue squares - representing an hour where you have not added an availability time.

Because this will be synced to your Outlook calendar, any meetings, appointments or other conflicts that are booked in Outlook during your regular LibCal Appointments "availability" time slots will automatically show as unavailable ("busy")

The duration of each new availability time you add will be determined by the Appointment Duration setting in My Settings

 

Color Coding

Once you've added your availability times, you'll notice differently colored squares on your availability calendar. Each color corresponds to a different availability status. Here's a quick summary of what they mean.
