Dock Scheduling → Appointments
A busy facility can have hundreds of appointments on the calendar at once. The controls above and around the calendar let you narrow it to the ones you care about, and move between days, weeks, and months.
For what an individual appointment block means once you’ve found it, see read the appointment calendar.
Choosing What You See
Above the calendar are the controls that decide which appointments appear at all:- Facility: pick the facility you’re managing. Its address appears underneath so you can confirm you’re on the right one.
- Dock Number: narrow the view to a single dock, or leave it empty to see them all.
- Status tabs: one tab per stage — Not Scheduled, Proposed, Confirmed, Arrived, Loaded/Unloaded, Departed — plus All. Each tab shows how many appointments it holds, and a tab with none is grayed out. The row scrolls if it doesn’t fit, so Not Scheduled may be cut off until you scroll left.
- Search: find an appointment by its numbers. Jumping to a result never truncates the day it lands on.
Moving Around the Calendar
- Left and right chevrons: step back and forward one period at a time.
- The button between them: shows the period you’re currently viewing — for example,
Aug 2026,Aug 2 - Aug 8, orThursday Aug 13. Click it to jump back to today. - The icons at the right: switch views. The one you’re in is highlighted.
- Month view: shows up to four appointments per day. If a day has more, a +N more link takes you to that week.
- Week view: days start collapsed and show up to five appointments. A +N more · Expand control reveals the rest, and a chevron collapses them again.
- Day view: appointments sit in hourly lanes and are sized by how long they run. All-day appointments and blocked ranges span the whole day. An Expand / Collapse button controls how much of the day is visible at once.

The Appointments Table
A table of the same appointments sits below the calendar, with its own set of columns. It’s the faster way to scan a long list or compare several appointments side by side.Other Things You’ll See
- Loading bar: a thin progress bar across the top of the calendar while appointments are still loading.
- Empty week: the message “No events matching the filters can be found in the current week.”
- Gray cells in month view: dates that fall outside the month you’re viewing.
- Striped gray blocks: closures and blocked docks rather than appointments. See read the appointment calendar.
