Appointments
The Dime.Scheduler Appointments table plays a crucial part in the integration with Business Central: it is the staging table that Dime.Scheduler uses to deposit its appointments that the planners have made in the planning tool.
There's only one (implicit) action in the list: "Process". There is no need to manually invoke this button unless you want retry processing a failed appointment.
There are built-in event listeners that automatically process the records in this list. For more information on this topic, continue here.
Card
Appointments in the list can be opened in the appointment card, which reveals more information about the appointment:
