APPOINTMENT
The
appointment slots feature lets you set one period of time on your calendar, divided
into available time slots for people to reserve. For instance, professors can
have their students reserve time during office hours each week, or a hair salon
could let anyone visiting their website schedule an appointment during business
hours.
