Google - Calendar - Add/Delete Appointment Slots

This page explains how to set up add appointment slots to an existing appointment schedule. If you have not yet done that or if you would like to set up another appointment schedule for a different type of appointment (i.e. conferences, office appointments) you should follow directions for 'Appointment Schedule Setup'

Step 1

Open Google Calendar

A. Open Google Chrome.

B. Select the Google Calendar icon from the waffle menu

OR go to calendar.google.com.

If you have created multiple calendars, make sure you are working in the calendar that is set up to make appointment slots.

Step 2

Open Appointment Scheduling

A. Left-click your mouse to select an area in your calendar. Tip: If you click on the the date and start time you want to offer appointments and drag your cursor to the end time, you won't have to edit the appointment time later. Note: You are not creating one appointment slot at a time you are creating a block of time when multiple appointment slots will be added. For example, if you set up appointments to be 10 minutes long and you create a 1 hour block of time, you will have created 6 appointment slots in that time period. If your schedule for appointment slots repeats often you should consider starting by creating a schedule as described in Step 2E of 'Appointment Schedule Setup'.

B. In the window that opens select the 'Appointment schedule' tab.

Step 3

Add to existing schedule

A. The name at top will match the name on the Booking Page. If you have created multiple Booking Pages you can select the drop down menu to change which you are using.

B. Select a cell to adjust the date, start time and end time for the block as needed.

C. Select the pencil icon to edit the schedule set up as described in the 'Appointment Schedule Setup' directions.

D. This is the calendar name connected to your appointment slots. If you have other calendars with other appointment slots you can select the drop down menu to switch.

E. Select the 'Add to existing schedule' when when the settings are correct.

Steps 2 and 3 will need to be repeated for every set of appointment blocks you need.

As people book appointments they will appear and act like any other appointment on your calendar. If you edit or delete the appointment schedule it will not change any of the appointments that have already been booked.

Step 4

Edit a schedule (if needed later)

A. Select the appointment you would like to edit. Tip: You can left-click on an appointment schedule to drag it to a different date or time. You can also left-click on the bottom edge of the appointment schedule and drag it up or down to change the length of the appointment schedule.

B. The window that opens gives a summary of the settings for the appointment schedule. Select the trash can to delete the appointment or the pencil icon to edit it.

C. Select the 'Open booking page' button to view the booking page or select the 'Share' button to get a link that allows you to share the booking page for this calendar.
