How do I create appointment slots in Google Calendar?
Resolution
Important:
According to Google, the appointment slots feature will be replaced by the appointment schedules feature on
July 18, 2024. If you use appointment slots, you will begin to notice banners on March 20 when viewing existing or creating new slots on your calendar. More guidance from ITS on recommended ways to transition your appointment slots to schedules is coming soon.
To create an appointment slot in Google Calendar:
- Go to U-M Google Calendar.
- Ensure the appointment schedule setting is turned off for your account.
- Click the gear icon in the top right and select Settings.
- Click Appointment schedules under General in the left sidebar.
- Uncheck the "Create appointment schedules instead of appointment slots" box.
- Click the left-pointing arrow in the top left to return to your calendar view.
- Click the Create button in the top left and select Appointment slots.
- Customize the appointment slot information in the event dialog that appears as desired. Click Save when finished.
