Overview

The appointments calendar contains all of the appointments that you've scheduled within the platform. It displays your past completed and expired appointments from your coaching sessions and also your scheduled upcoming sessions. It is mainly used for scheduling, rescheduling, canceling/deleting appointments with your coach/coachee.
