# Planner Management

The Planner is a major component of the **Maica Client Care** solution, in fact, we would probably say, it's the largest and most important component of **Maica Client Care**. It is where the user can perform the vast majority of **Client Care** functions such as creating and managing Appointments.

To reflect the importance of this tool, we offer you a number of configuration options to make the Planner your own, including the ones listed here.

### The Field Selector

The Field Selector is available in a number of spots within the Maica Client Care solution and allows you to pick from a list of attributes related to the object you are referencing, for example `Contact`. It further allows you to browse any lookups and navigate up to three levels, for example `Contact -> Region -> Name`.&#x20;
