Book an appointment

This is the most important task. Follow it slowly the first few times — after that it becomes second nature.

  1. Click the orange New Appointment button at the top-right of the calendar. A form slides in from the right — this is where you enter the customer’s details.
  2. Or click straight onto the calendar. If you know the day and time, click that empty spot in the grid. A red dashed “ghost” block appears and the form opens with the day, time and rep already filled in.

The form is split into numbered blocks. Work top to bottom.

The New Appointment form: Customer & address, Products of interest, How did you hear about us, and Suggested booking, with a Save Appointment bar at the bottom.

Figure 1 — the New Appointment form.

  1. Customer & address. Who the appointment is for. Start with the mobile number — BUZ checks if they’re already a customer.
  2. Branch & Customer Group. Two boxes you must fill in (marked with a red ✱). Pick each from its list.
  3. Install address. Type the first line and pick the real address from the drop-down. This helps BUZ suggest the nearest rep.
  4. Products of interest. Tick what the customer wants, then type how many of each.
  5. Suggested booking. Pick the rep, the date and the time. Rep and date are required.
  6. Suggest reps button. Click it and BUZ ranks reps by area, skills and workload — then pick the rep it suggests.
  7. Save bar. The orange Save Appointment button. Nothing is booked until you press it.
  1. Check the required boxes are filled — a name, Branch, Customer Group, a Sales rep and a Date.
  2. Press Save Appointment. A green message says “Appointment #123 created.” It now shows on the calendar and in that rep’s My Day.
  3. Book another, or close. Click Start another appointment in the green message, or press the ✕ at the top of the form.
