# Checking into Appointments

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

Checking into an Appointment
{% endembed %}

When checking into an Appointment, you are presented with a dialog showing essentially two distinct areas of input including **Appointment Date Information** and **Appointment Checklist Information**; this is further described in this article.

### Appointment Date Information

**Maica Client Care** offers the configurable capability to ensure that **Appointments** are conducted within acceptable parameters, such as check-in and check-out time as well as duration. This part of the checkin process captures the relevant date information and [validates](/appointment-management/appointment-cost-calculation.md) that this **Appointment** is being conducted within the allowable parameters.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please refer to the [detailed description](/appointment-management/appointment-cost-calculation.md) of the validation algorithm to better understand the logic used by **Maica Client Care** to ensure the integrity of **Appointments**.
{% endhint %}

### Appointment Checklist Information

If a [Checklist](/client-care-reference-data/checklist-management.md) has been associated with an **Appointment**, the user is presented with the list of each Checklist Item and asked to capture the outcomes of each item.

The user is prompted for each **Checklist Item,** if so configured in **Maica Client Care** [Settings](/maica-billing-processes/maica-billing-processes.md), to provide further information to manage possible outcomes of **Checklist Items**.
