How to Book Participant Appointments
Booking through the CUI (customer-facing scheduler) respects all standard restrictions and limits. To override those restrictions — you'll need to book the appointment manually through the Admin UI.
Making Appointments in the Admin UI
Step 1: Locate the Time Slot
- Select the Appointments tab at the top of the screen.
- 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.
To book as a Participant on through the CUI (customer-facing scheduler)
Go to the Contacts section and locate the parent. Click on their name and then click the 'Log in as' button.
Passwords are not needed to masquerade as a participant.
You will then be sent to the CUI where you can book.
Step 1: Select a Resource
Choose the resource(s) you'd like to book with, then click Filter Slots.
Step 2: Book an Appointment
The scheduling grid displays available times as squares with a plus sign (+).
- Click your preferred time square.
- Click Create Appointment.
- A confirmation message will briefly appear at the top of the screen.
After you book appointments on behalf of a participant, the participant can still log in and change or cancel the appointment.
When booking on behalf of a participant, other admins will be able to see which admin booked for that participant within the participant's log in Contacts.
