# Turnero Appointments — Module Overview and Field Guide
> Learn how Turnero's appointment module works — scheduling, filtering, real-time table updates, and exporting for daily clinic operations.
The Appointments module is the heart of Turnero's daily clinic workflow. It lets front-desk staff schedule, edit, and track patient appointments, while doctors receive live updates as their schedule fills.
## The Appointments Table
When you open the **Appointments** section, Turnero automatically loads all appointments for today. The table displays the following columns for each appointment:
| Column | Description |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Name** | Full name of the patient |
| **DNI** | Patient's national ID number |
| **Health Insurance** | Patient's obra social (insurance provider) |
| **Reason** | Reason for the visit (motivo) |
| **Doctor** | Name of the assigned doctor |
| **Date** | Date of the appointment |
| **Time** | Scheduled time slot |
Use the **Doctor** filter dropdown to narrow the table to a single doctor's schedule, or use the **Date** picker to jump to a different day. Doctors logged in with the Medico role are automatically filtered to see only their own appointments.
## Real-Time Updates
Turnero keeps every logged-in user in sync automatically. When any appointment is created, edited, or when a patient checks in, the appointments table updates live for all active users — no page refresh required. Changes are pushed directly to each connected browser the moment they occur.
## Appointment Fields
Every appointment in Turnero is built from the following fields:
Full name of the patient (Nombre).
Patient's national ID number (DNI). Used to identify returning patients.
The assigned doctor for this appointment (Médico). Selected from the list of registered doctors.
The appointment date (Fecha), formatted as dd/MM/yyyy.
The scheduled time slot (Hora). Must be chosen from the pre-configured time slots set up by an Admin.
Patient's health insurance provider (Obra Social). Optional.
Reason for the visit (Motivo). Optional — walk-in appointments created through the public page have this set automatically to "Turno espontáneo".
Whether the patient has checked in (Ingresado). Updated by the Medico role using the Check In button.
## Next Steps
Create, edit, filter, and delete appointments from the authenticated scheduling interface.
Let walk-in patients self-register from a public page — no login required.
