# Creating Appointments

The creation of new Appointments is primarily done via the **Maica Client Care** [Planner](/planner-management/the-planner-overview.md).

The quickest way to create a new **Appointment** is to simply drag and release on any view of the **Planner** as shown above. A number of fields will be pre-populated depending on the view the user is currently in as outlined in the table below.

<table><thead><tr><th width="184">Planner View</th><th>Pre-Populated Fields</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Appointment</td><td>Start Date, Start Time, End Date, End Time</td></tr><tr><td>Resource</td><td>Start Date, Start Time, End Date, End Time, Resource</td></tr><tr><td>Participant</td><td>Start Date, Start Time, End Date, End Time, Participant</td></tr><tr><td>Accomodation</td><td>Start Date, Start Time, End Date, End Time, Location, Accomodation</td></tr></tbody></table>

Upon dragging and releasing the cursor on the **Planner**, the **New Appointment** dialog will show and offer the user the following steps:

* [Step 1: Basic Details](/appointment-management/creating-appointments/step-1-basic-details.md)
* [Step 2: Schedule and Location](/appointment-management/creating-appointments/step-2-location.md)
* [Step 3: Additional Details](/appointment-management/creating-appointments/step-4-additional-details.md)
* [Step 4: Client Notes](/appointment-management/creating-appointments/step-6-client-note-s.md)
* [Step 5: Completion](/appointment-management/managing-appointments/completing-appointments.md)
