You can use Google Calendar’s Appointment Slots function to create appointments that other users can book. For example, faculty can create office-hour or class-presentation appointment slots that students can then book themselves. This function creates an additional view of your calendar that only shows the available appointment slots. Visitors can then click on a time slot to book it. Then once a time is booked, the time is filled in and unbookable by others.

Note: Appointment Slots are currently only available to Google Apps users (i.e., not to personal Gmail users). Users must be signed in with their Daemen email to access the appointment slots.

There are several things you can do with appointment slots:

• Setting up appointment slots
• Adding others to the appointment
• Inviting others to book appointments

Setting Up Appointment Slots

1. Go to Google Calendar.
2. Click on the date you want to set the appointment slots for.
3. In the event box, click “Appointment slots”. Enter the event title, time frame, and slot duration then click save. For example: If you select the time as “9am-11am” and with “slots with duration of 30 minutes” then 4 appointment slots would be createdeach lasting 30 minutes during that time period.

4. Once saved, click on the appointment to edit the event and add additional details like location or description.

Adding Others to the Appointments
