Open Google Calendar and in your calendar grid, click an empty time slot and click Appointment slots. (Optional) If you want to create your appointment slot on another calendar, at the bottom next to your name, click the Down arrow and select the calendar. Add a title and choose a date and time. Click on the date and time you want the appointment to be. A dialogue box will open up; click on.

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

Adding Others to the Appointments

Adding others to the appointments is not the same as inviting them to book an appointment. When adding someone to the appointments, they will be invited to every appointment so only add people who will be assisting with all the appointments (i.e. – if it is for an Office or Department, you may want to add others in the office so they can see the appointments).
