# Configure and Manage Appointment Time Slots in Turnero

> Create and manage the appointment time slots shown in Turnero's scheduling form so front-desk staff can book patients at the right times.

Time slots define the specific hours of the day that appear when scheduling an appointment. Before your clinic can start booking appointments, an Admin must create the time slots that match your clinic's operating hours.

## Creating a Time Slot

<Steps>
  <Step title="Log in with an Admin account">
    Sign in using credentials for a Turnero account that has the **Admin** role assigned.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to Administration → Time Slots">
    Open the main navigation menu and select **Administration → Time Slots**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click New Time Slot">
    On the Time Slots page, click **New Time Slot** to open the creation form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the time in HH:mm format">
    Type the appointment time using 24-hour `HH:mm` format — for example, `09:00`, `09:30`, or `14:00`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Save">
    Click **Save** to add the time slot. It immediately appears as an option in the appointment scheduling form.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Managing Time Slots

The Time Slots page lists all configured slots for your clinic. From this page you can review existing slots and remove any that are no longer needed.

To delete a time slot, click the **delete** button next to it and confirm the deletion.

<Warning>
  Deleting a time slot that is already used by existing appointments may cause display issues for those appointments. Only delete time slots that are no longer in use.
</Warning>

## Recommended Setup

Plan your full schedule of time slots before staff begin booking appointments:

* Create one time slot for each consultation interval in your clinic's schedule.
* For example, if you see patients every 30 minutes from 08:00 to 12:00, create the following slots: `08:00`, `08:30`, `09:00`, `09:30`, `10:00`, `10:30`, `11:00`, `11:30`, `12:00`.
* Use consistent 24-hour `HH:mm` format for all entries to keep the scheduling form ordered and readable.

<Tip>
  Set up all your time slots before creating any appointments. Front-desk staff cannot book appointments if no time slots exist in the system.
