Appointment Book Settings

You can choose which type of appointment list you use, how your appointments are displayed, the colours of the various statuses of the appointment list and whether or not you want photos displayed on your appointment book.

The fields in the Workstation Specific Settings area ONLY affect the computer that you are currently on. These fields must be set for every computer accessing the Appointment Book.
