**Requirements:** administrator or editor role (with the Viewer role you can only create appointments
assigned to yourself, see section 5).

1. Tap **"New appointment"**, at the top right of the Calendar screen.
2. Choose the **employee** the appointment is assigned to, in the "Select an employee" dropdown.
3. Choose the **date** with the calendar picker.
4. Once you have an employee and a date, the **"Available slots"** section (empty until then, with the
   notice "Choose an employee to see their available slots") fills in with that employee's actually free
   times that day — calculated per section 4. Choose one.
5. Type a **title** (for example, "Downtown apartment visit").
6. Type the **appointment type** (for example, "visit" or "call").
7. Add internal **notes** if you want — this field is optional.
8. Tap **"Create appointment"** (or "Cancel" to discard the form without saving anything).

**Result:** the appointment is left in **Scheduled** status, with **Manual** source, visible in the table
and in the Week view.

> **Warning — Overlapping appointments aren't allowed**
>
> It's not possible to create two overlapping appointments for the same employee: the available-slots
> dropdown only lets you choose among times that are truly free for that employee and that date.
