Creating Standalone Appointments

Users can create delivery or pickup standalone appointments that are not associated with a shipment. The example below is for a pickup standalone appointment.

Complete the following steps to create standalone appointments:

  1. L og in to the ONE system.

  2. Click Menus/Favs > Scheduling > Standalone Appointments > New Pickup Standalone Appointment. In the NEO UI, users can click on the Menus/Favs icon on the left sidebar and type in the name of the screen in the menu search bar. For more information, see "Using the Menu Search Bar."

    The method for creating a delivery standalone appointment is similar; instead, simply click Menus/Favs > Scheduling > Standalone Appointments > New Delivery Standalone Appointment.

    The New Pickup Standalone Appointment screen displays.

Each suggested reservation is identified by Slot Type: whether the slot is due to a Regular available open slot or from a Standing Block. The field descriptions and steps for scheduling this appointment are found in the "Appointment Scheduling in the NEO Workbench UI" section of the Online Help. Instructions for other actions (rescheduling, updating, canceling, etc.) are found in the "Working with Appointments" section in the Online Help.
