Appointment Slots and Times

Set Up Parents' Evenings — Step 4 Back to Step 3

To choose when appointments are available, in Session add the session dates and times, appointment length, and type.

  1. Enter the Date of the session.

    Session times cannot overlap, for example, if the session is 15:00 to 21:00, another session for the same date cannot be 15:30 to 21:00. To add more than one session, for the same or other dates, select Add Session.

  2. Enter the session Start Time and End Time.

  3. Choose an Appointment Length.

    The End Time and Appointment Length determine the time of the last appointment. If appointments are 15 minutes, and the end time is 21:30, then the last appointment parents and carers can book would be 21:15.

  4. Select the Appointment Type:

    • Video Call — Parents and carers, and staff members can only join the appointment from their IRIS ParentMail account
    • In Person — For events that take place at your organisation's location

    To create an event with video and in person appointments, separate sessions must be created for each appointment type.

  5. Choose when appointments become available for booking.
