# Checking out of Appointments The checking out of Appointments is primarily done via the **Maica Client Care** [Planner](/planner-management/the-planner-overview.md). {% embed url="" %} When checking out of an Appointment, you are presented with a dialog showing essentially two distinct areas of input including **Appointment Date Information** and **Appointment Service Information**; this is further described in this article. ### Appointment Date and Duration 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 check-out process captures the relevant date information and [validates](/appointment-management/appointment-cost-calculation.md) that this **Appointment** is being conducted within the allowable parameters.
In addition to capturing and validating **Appointment** date information, you are able to confirm/amend the time spent with each Participant for each **Appointment** Service. This means, if the actual service duration has changed for one or more Participants, this can easily be captured at the time of checking out of the **Appointment**. ### Optional Client Note(s) The last step in the check-out process is to provide the option to capture a Client Note for each Participant.
{% hint style="info" %} Where multiple Participants are part of an Appointment, an individual Client Note will be generated for each Participant. For single Participant Client Notes, a Client Goal can also be captured. {% endhint %} Clicking the `Check-Out` button will finalise the check-out process and mark the **Appointment** as `Completed` unless Maica has encountered a [validation](/appointment-management/appointment-cost-calculation.md) error in which case the **Appointment** will be marked as `Under Review`. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
