The Difference Between A Now and Later Appointment

• What Is A Now Appointment?
• What Is A Later Appointment?

Scheduling a Customer Appointment

There are two ways to schedule a Customer Appointment:

• Scheduling a Now Appointment
• Scheduling a Later Appointment

What Is a Now Appointment?

A Now Appointment is used when an appointment needs to be scheduled for the current date and time.

When you create a new appointment, Now is selected by default. If you would like to schedule the appointment for a future date or time, select Later instead.

Complete the required information based on the customer's appointment.

What Is a Later Appointment?

A Later Appointment is used to schedule an appointment for a future date and time. You can schedule it for another day, week, or month.

When you select Later, you will have the following additional options:

• Assign a Staff Member: You can assign the appointment to a specific staff member. This option is not available when scheduling a Now Appointment.
• Select a Date: You can choose any future date for the appointment.
• Set Start and End Times: You can specify the exact start and end time for the appointment.

This allows you to schedule customer appointments in advance based on your requirements.

To define the difference between a Now and Later Appointment, Scheduled will be written against the booked appointment. 

You can also Mark as Done the Appointment, once your Appointment has been completed.
