Create an appointment for a group of clients in the Sessions Calendar

This article explains how to create an appointment for a group of clients in the Sessions Calendar.

If you're planning an appointment that multiple clients will attend, you can create the appointment in the Sessions Calendar.

There are several steps when creating a new session for a group appointment. This article covers the first two, with the other steps covered in separate articles. To begin setting up a new group appointment, you can navigate to sections of this article that explain how to:

• Create a new session, and
• Set up the session details.

A link at the end of the article will take you to the next step in the process.

If you've already started setting up your group appointment, you can open other articles that explain how to:

• Add attendees
• Add services, and
• Add service types, set up recurrences and save the session.

1. Navigate to the Sessions Calendar.
2. You can modify the calendar view by clicking on the Worker View, Day, Week or Month buttons at the top of the calendar.
