With the Request a Time feature within Cadence, you can ask your customers what time is most convenient for them.

Your schedule, along with your selected room(s) schedule will be used to find a time that works for everyone.

Enabling Request A Time – Ask Customer

To Enable Ask a Customer, open the Create an Appointment form. You can do this by clicking the plus sign on the appointments menu from the Appointments Website.

Now, find the Ask Customer section of the form and toggle on Ask Customer to enable.

Enabling Request A Time –Selecting Location(s)

The locations you select while using the Ask Customer feature will be used when presenting possible times to your customer (along with the Organizer's schedule). 

To select more than one room, click Select Another Location.

The Organizer’s schedule is used (along with the room(s) selected), to determine which times are available for the customer to select.

You will be added by default as the Organizer; however, if you’re scheduling an appointment for someone else, you can change the organizer by clicking the X next to your name and typing in the desired organizer. 

You can view any selected Organizer’s current schedule by clicking View Availability.
