How do I create an Appointment?

A quick and efficient way to create Appointments is directly through the the Maica Planner. Maica has an interactive user mechanism where you can simply drag and release your mouse on the Planner in order to prompt the creation of an Appointment.

Creating an Appointment is dependant on what View you are in within the Planner. You need to be in one of Schedule, Participant, Asset or Accomodation View in order to create an Appointment, otherwise you will create a Shift.

Please see below for an example:
