This article guides you through adding an appointment to an Open calendar for all consultant types (except Practices and Ad hoc only Consultants). These times have been confirmed with Converge as part of your contract variation.

Step 1: Accessing Quick View actions
After logging in, your default home page is Quick View, which can also be accessed via the left menu, if needed.
Find the clients' appointment on the Quick View page then click the blue “Rebook” button from the Appointment Actions column on the right side.
The Quick View page is split into 3 sections - Appointments not started, Appointments in Progress and Appointments recently completed.
Your clients' last appointment will be in the “Appointments Recently Completed” section or, if you haven’t yet commenced the last appointment, it will be in the “Appointments Not Started” section.
Step 2: Review client session summary
Next, a pop-up will appear where you can review information before continuing.
Review the client session summary and the available session count.
Click “Continue to Rebook”
If the client does not have enough sessions remaining, you can request extra sessions. View this guide on Extra Sessions for more information: Requesting extra sessions
Step 3: Select booking approach
As a consultant with confirmed open slots with Converge, you’ll be presented with three booking approach options - Manual Booking, Retrospective Booking and Rebook with me.

Tick the date selection option
Enter a time range for slots you want to search

Click Search for availability
You can also leave Date Selection unchecked and search with entire days.
