Configuring and Managing your Appointment Calendar
Students and parents can easily book a meeting with you via your Appointment Booking Calendar, if you choose to switch it on.
There are 2 steps you need to complete in order to use this.
1. Enable the appointment booking calendar for your school
2. Configure your calendar as a user

Advanced Scheduling
The Career Tools Appointment Calendar can be customised to really dial in your availability on a weekly or fortnightly basis
Adding a Blockout
Block out times when you are not available for appointments. These can be set as recurring Blockouts or one offs.
Book an Appointment (for Students/Parents)
There are 3 places on your careers website where someone can make an appointment booking with you (if you have the appointment booking calendar enabled):
1. The button on the front of your site:
2. Under the "For Students" menu"
3. Under the "For Parents" menu"
The following are the steps that a student or parent will go through in order to make an appointment booking with you.
Integrating your Outlook and Google Calendars
Note: Integrating your Outlook/Google Calendar is a Premium feature
Career Tools gives you the ability to synchronise your Career Tools appointment booking calendar with your school Outlook and/or Google calendars. This means that when a booking is made on your Career Tools calendar it will also be passed across to your Google or Outlook calendar. Vice versa, events that are on your Google or Outlook calendars will be passed across to your Career Tools calendar as block-outs so people cannot book with you at these times.
