Managing Appointments
Schedule Appointments
Each row represents an attendee and the view extends horizontally with the hours of the day.
When attendees are added to the appointment the schedule view will automatically load their appointments for that day and overlay them on the view. This allows you to identify when a mutually free space is available in the calendar.
Info
If Calendar Synchronisation has been enabled to Auto Add Attendees in the Admin Console, this will have the affect of automatically adding the members of the parent to the appointment as attendees. For example – the Primary Contact.
Invite Attendees
Attendees can be added to the appointment when in Edit mode.
Attendees can be Users, contacts or Teams in Gold-Vision
Required – tick this box if the attendee is required for the appointment
Delete – select the bin icon if you wish to remove an attendee.
Accept Appointments
If you are an attendee of an appointment and not the owner/organiser then you have the option of accepting, declining or tentatively accepting it from within Gold-Vision. Gold-Vision automatically recognises if the current user is an attendee of an appointment and displays a set of acceptance buttons to them accordingly. Regardless of whether you accept an appointment from within Gold-Vision or within a third party calendar the attendance data will be kept in sync.Primary Appointment Actions
