Admin Access Levels Level Permissions Appointment Viewer Can log in and view appointments only — no changes allowed Appointment Maker Can make appointments from the Admin UI, but cannot change setup or add/remove slots Resource Administrator Can make/cancel appointments and add/remove slots — limited to the specific resources granted in Resource Access Event Administrator Full administrative access to one or more specific events — set under Event Access Administrator Full access to the entire account All levels include access to reports. Granting Specific Access Some levels require you to specify what the contact can access: Appointment Viewer, Appointment Maker, Resource Administrator: Set their accessible resources under Vendor Access / Resource Access . Event Administrator: Set their accessible event(s) under Vendor Access / Event Access . Contacts The Contacts tab is where your list of administrators and participants is stored. Participant contact records are created automatically the first time they log into the online scheduler. Note: Participant names don't display automatically — you'll need to search by first or last name to find them. To get started: From the Admin UI, select Contacts on the top navigation. Viewing Contact Info Search for and select a contact to populate their details on the right-hand side. Several tabs are available: Tab What it shows Contact Info Email, first/last name, admin level, customer access rights, and any custom fields configured under Global Setup / Contacts Appointments (small tab, distinct from the main Appointments tab) All appointments for this contact Log Email history and a log of when appointments were booked or canceled Vendor Access Resource Access and Event Access settings for administrators Search options: The Search Control list allows you to search by Last Name , First Name , Email , or any custom ID fields configured under Global Setup / Contacts . Other actions available from a selected contact: Delete — removes the contact Reset PW — resets the contact's password to your account's default password (configurable under Global Setup / Contacts ) Setting Up Vendor Access Important: When adding a new contact with Appointment Viewer , Appointment Maker , or Resource Administrator access, be sure to check the appropriate box under Vendor Access / Resource Access — otherwise they won't have access to any resources. Master Access: The "Allow access to all events and all resources" option under Master Access is only available for Appointment Viewer and Appointment Maker levels. It is not available for Resource Administrator or Event Administrator levels, which require resources/events to be granted individually. Adding a New Contact Click Add . Fill in the fields marked on the form. Note: You can't create a new contact using an email address that's already associated with another contact on your account.

Use the calendar on the left to navigate to the desired date. Click the green plus sign (+) in the time slot you'd like to book. Step 2: Select the Participant The Select Person dialog will open. You have two options: Option A: Search for an existing contact Type the participant's name (or the first few letters) in the search field on the left. Select the correct name once it appears. Verify the contact information shown on the right. Click OK to finalize the appointment. Option B: Create a new contact If the participant isn't found: Enter their First Name , Last Name , and Email Address in the fields on the left. Click the green Add button. Click OK to create the contact, then OK again to book the appointment. Pro Tips for Scheduling Partial searches work: You don't need the full name — typing just the last name (or part of it) often finds participants faster. Verify before confirming: Always double-check the email address on the right before clicking OK , to make sure confirmation emails go to the right person. Problem Appointments The Appointments List page shows a master list of all appointments, including any that need attention. Red Appointments — Rule Violations What they are:  Previously booked appointments that violate a rule configured under  Settings → UI Setup . How they're created: An admin manually books an appointment that breaks a configured rule (e.g., booking limits, one-appointment-per-teacher rules). To resolve: Click the red appointment to see the reason for the conflict, shown below the calendar. Open the  Appointments  drop-down and select  Confirm Appointment  to force the booking and clear the flag. ⚠️  Important: Red appointments are invisible to participants — they do not appear as booked on the participant's schedule, and reminder emails will not  be sent until the appointment is confirmed. Always check the Appointments List for unresolved red appointments. Orange Appointments — In Progress What they are:  Appointments currently being booked by a parent, mid-process. Behavior: Cannot be manually deleted or selected for email notifications. Automatically managed by the system — if the participant is inactive for too long without completing the booking, the appointment is automatically canceled. The orange status disappears once the participant clicks Create Appointment  to finish booking. This status is useful for admins booking appointments manually: it prevents you from accidentally selecting a time slot a parent is currently in the process of booking. Deleted Slots with Existing Appointments When you delete a slot that has appointments booked on it, those appointments are  not deleted  — they're  flagged  instead, and will appear in the  Appointments List for review. Reports When you log into pickAtime, you'll land on the Event Reports page by default. Reports fall into two categories: Event-Specific and Account-Specific . Event-Specific Reports Select your event from the Event pull-down. If your event's dates have already passed, enter a From/To date range to pull historical data — otherwise, this is optional. Managing Reports Every report supports the following options: Action Description Format Print, export to XML, or export to tab-delimited (Excel-compatible) Email Report Send the report to yourself or others Save Report Settings Saves customizations (e.g., added fields) so they persist next time you run the report Schedule Report Delivery Set a date range, time of day, and frequency for automated email delivery Account-Specific Reports Select Account Reports mode to view data across your entire vendor account (all events). Report What it shows Settings Your account's auto-generated scheduler URL Account – Invoices and Payments Account balance, invoice history, and payment history. Click an invoice # to view it and pay by credit card.

Appointments Summary by Contacts Summarizes appointments by each contact Sending Custom Emails The  Appointments List page — not the main Appointments page — lets you search for and manage appointments by: A single date A date range An event This returns a list of parents with appointments matching your search, along with options to email , delete , confirm , or recreate slots and appointments. Sending Emails from the Appointments List Click Send Email at the top of the page. Choose Send to All or Send to Selected . In the dialog that appears, choose an email type: Reminder email Custom email You can send using the existing template as-is, or customize it for this send. Email templates are managed under Settings/ Notification Setup . Viewing Appointments in the Admin UI You can adjust several display settings to make the Appointments page easier to read. Adjust row height (make time slots taller): On the Appointments tab, hover over one of the horizontal lines just above a time marker, then click and drag vertically. Adjust column width: Hover over the space between two resource columns, then click and drag. Adjust time markers and gridlines: Go to Settings / Vendor UI Setup and modify  "Time Mark Display on the Appointments Page." Adjust the visible time range (scroll bar limits): On the same Vendor UI Setup page, under "Hours Visible on the Appointments Page," set the minimum and maximum hours shown. This range applies account-wide per event — it is not day-specific. If one day has slots from 8–5 and another has slots from 9–6, set the range to 8–6 so the scroll bar covers all possible slot times across every day.
