Appointment Settings
This section lets the GFA customize the default appointment duration settings for advising, tutor and general appointments. These settings are appointment defaults and will only be used if the advisor (or tutor) and/or the locations themselves have not defined an appointment duration of their own.
Default Duration Advising Appointments: This appointment time will only be used if the advisor and/or the location has not defined an appointment duration of their own via the Appointment Constraints. We will cover how to setup the location default location setup later in this guide.
Enable Service Based Advising: When this box is checked, student will see a “Get Advising” button on the Home page that enables them to create an advising appointment, with one of their advisors, based on their needs.
Default Duration Tutoring Appointments: This appointment time will only be used if the tutor and/or the location has not defined an appointment duration of their own via the Appointment Constraints. We will cover how to setup the location default location setup later in this guide.
Default Duration General Appointments: This is the default duration for general appointments. This time can be overridden at the time the appointment is being created.
Show Available Slots if No Availabilities: This refers to the appointment scheduling grid will default to showing all open slots for an advisor or tutor if they have not defined their appointment availabilities. It is a good idea to keep this checked especially if your advisors or tutors might be a little slow in creating their appointment availabilities.
