<p>An Appointment is a single service in a Missionary Deputation schedule.  It is contained within a Macro Schedule, and specifies the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Church</li>
<li>Date</li>
<li>Time (Service time)</li>
<li>Notes</li>
</ul>
<h1>Creating an Appointment</h1>
<p>A DGMD creates these appointments by selecting the Macro Schedule in which to plan it.  Here are the steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to the <strong>Missionary Services</strong> within the <strong>Appointment</strong> menu.</li>
<li>Click on <strong>Add New</strong></li>
<li>Determine whether you want to schedule a <strong>Service</strong> or an <strong>Offering Only</strong> (which can also be an informal meeting with the missionary).</li>
<li>Find the <strong>Macro Schedule</strong> by filtering the list, typing in part of the description.</li>
<li>Enter the date of the service to be scheduled.  Note that the available dates in the Macro Schedule show in black, with other dates outside this range showing in gray.</li>
<li>View the pins on the map, and select one or select the name of the church in the &#8220;Church &#8221; field or click on one of the green pins to view the name and other details of the church.  Red pins denote churches that do not have a service on the selected date.<br /><img decoding="async" src="https://www.gmdeputation.help/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/CleanShot-2025-08-07-at-22.24.36-300x187.png" width="432" height="269" alt="" class="wp-image-269 alignnone size-medium" />  <img decoding="async" src="https://www.gmdeputation.help/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/CleanShot-2025-08-07-at-22.26.21-300x189.png" width="425" height="268" alt="" class="wp-image-270 alignnone size-medium" /></li>
<li>Select the service on that day.</li>
<li>Enter a short description in the description field.</li>
<li>From here either Save or you can add more services into the Macro Schedule &#8211; on different times on the same day, or different days.Essentially this should be the full schedule of the missionary for that time period in the district.</li>
<li>When saved, a confirmation should display.</li>
<li>Now you should be able to look up the entered appointment(s) in the list, using the filter function:</li>
<li>With each of these appointments, a notification is automatically sent to the pastor of the associated churches.  Once he confirms it, a notification will be sent back to you, the DGMD, and also to the missionary.</li>
