It also adds the respondent as an attendee of the appointment slot that was booked by him. It's easy to configure but very useful.

You can use Google Calendar’s Appointment Slots function to create appointments that other users can book. For example, faculty can create office-hour or class-presentation appointment slots that students can then book themselves. This function creates an additional view of your calendar that only shows the available appointment slots. Visitors can then click on a time slot to book it. Then once a time is booked, the time is filled in and unbookable by others.

Note: Appointment Slots are currently only available to Google Apps users (i.e., not to personal Gmail users). Users must be signed in with their Daemen email to access the appointment slots.

There are several things you can do with appointment slots:

Setting up appointment slots
Adding others to the appointment
Inviting others to book appointments

Click on the appointment slots and select “Edit”. Enter their username in the “Add Guests” field (to the right).

Inviting Others To Book Appointments

You must set up the actual appointment slots before others can book them.

Go to Google Calendar.
Click the appointment slot event on the calendar, then click on “Go to appointment page for this calendar”.
