# How to Schedule and Manage Appointments in Turnero

> How to create, edit, filter, and delete appointments in Turnero's scheduling interface. Covers time slot availability checks and patient check-in.

Front-desk staff (Ingreso role) and doctors (Medico role) can schedule appointments through the Turnero interface. Each appointment is linked to a specific doctor and time slot, and all changes are reflected in real time for every logged-in user.

## Creating an Appointment

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Appointments section">
    Go to **Appointments** in the main navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the scheduling form">
    Click **New Appointment** to open the scheduling form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a doctor">
    Select the **Doctor** from the dropdown list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a date">
    Select the **Date** for the appointment.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a time slot">
    Choose an available **Time Slot** from the dropdown. Only pre-configured slots appear here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter patient details">
    Enter the patient's **Full Name** and **DNI**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add optional details">
    Optionally add **Health Insurance** (obra social) and a **Reason** for the visit.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the appointment">
    Click **Save** — the appointment appears immediately in the table for all logged-in users.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Checking Time Slot Availability

Turnero automatically checks whether the selected doctor already has an appointment at the chosen time slot. If the slot is already taken, the system prevents the booking and prompts you to select a different time. This check runs before saving, so no duplicate appointments can be created for the same doctor at the same time.

## Editing an Appointment

<Info>
  Editing is available to the **Ingreso** (front-desk) role only.
</Info>

1. Click the **edit icon** on the appointment row you want to change.
2. Update any field in the form — doctor, date, time slot, patient details, or reason.
3. Click **Save** to confirm. The updated appointment is pushed to all active users in real time.

## Marking a Patient as Arrived

<Info>
  The Check In action is available to the **Medico** (doctor) role only.
</Info>

1. Locate the patient's appointment row in the table.
2. Click the **Check In** (✓) button on that row.
3. The **Arrived** (Ingresado) status updates immediately — front-desk staff see the change in their own table without refreshing.

## Deleting an Appointment

<Info>
  Deletion is available to the **Admin** and **Ingreso** roles.
</Info>

1. Click the **delete icon** on the appointment row.
2. Confirm the deletion in the prompt.
3. The row is removed from the table instantly for all logged-in users.

## Filtering Appointments

* Use the **Doctor** filter dropdown to display appointments for a specific doctor only.
* Use the **Date** picker to view appointments on a different day. By default the table shows today's appointments.
* Doctors logged in with the Medico role are automatically filtered to their own schedule — the doctor filter is pre-set and cannot be changed by them.

<Note>
  Time slots must be configured by an Admin before they appear in the scheduling form. See [Time Slots](/administration/time-slots) for details.
</Note>

<Tip>
  Use the column headers to sort the appointment table by name, time, or doctor.
