Appointment Module
Imagine a user named Ravi, a staff member who starts his day by checking the Appointment
Module.

Morning (9:00 AM)

Ravi logs in and opens the Appointment Module. The weekly calendar immediately shows him:

 Which tasks are due today


 Which appointments are upcoming
 How busy the rest of the week looks

Ravi clicks on Today, and the highlighted date makes it easy for him to focus on what matters.

He sees a free slot at 11:00 AM and uses the + button to book a quick client catch-up meeting.
Mid-Day (1:30 PM)

Ravi switches to the Task List View to check details:

 Start time, end time


 Discounts, totals, final amount
 Status of each appointment

A task marked as New is completed, so he updates it to Completed using the three-dot menu.

Afternoon (3:00 PM)

His manager asks for revenue details. Ravi quickly filters the task list and exports the totals.

End of Day (6:00 PM)

Ravi reviews the next day’s schedule using week navigation arrows. He ends the day with a
clear view of tomorrow’s workload.

This module quietly supports Ravi throughout the day, making planning easy and stress-free.
