# Step 1: Basic Details

The first tab captures the basic details of the Appointment, as described in the below table.

{% hint style="info" %}
The validation logic ensures that the selected Participants have the relevant and required Support Items in their [Service Agreements](/ndis-management/service-agreement-overview.md). Where this is not the case, Participants will be marked in red (as shown) and the `Next` button becomes available. This is the only physical restriction that **Maica Client Care** enforces where the user can't continue to create the Appointment.
{% endhint %}

This step of the process also offers the opportunity to mark the <strong>Appointment</strong> as <code>happening right now</code> which will set the date and time to the current date &#x26; time.</td></tr><tr><td>Appointment Service</td><td>Appointment Services are the work to be done during the <strong>Appointment</strong> itself. These services are configured using <a href="/pages/DB0Bgjq288M0rxLdc4Qb">Appointment Services</a> within Maica Client Care which allows for the specification of included Support Items as well as required <a href="/pages/vEkfcQA7aBBnktoFjIhz">Skills</a> to deliver the service. </td></tr></tbody></table>

### Appointment Services

There are two ways to add a new Appointment Service to the Appointment; the first one is to simply type the name of the service (such as `Occupational Therapy`) and select this when **Maica Client Care** shows the available values. The second method is to type in any key words configured within the tags of the [Appointment Service](/client-care-reference-data/appointment-services.md). This will also show the available services for selection.

You can add multiple Appointment Services by clicking the `+` button.
