Instructions on how to manage your availability as a lawyer for each appointment type assigned to you by your law firm.

Updated over a week ago

As a lawyer, you can control your calendar availability for each appointment type assigned to you. For example, you can limit your availability for phone appointments to an hour on Monday mornings, and meetings with new clients to Friday's from 2 to 3 pm.

In LawTap, appointment types are set up on a firm-wide level and then assigned to individual lawyers. See Adding and managing appointment types for your law firm as a practice manager for more.

In this article, we take you through the process of limiting your calendar availability for appointment types as a lawyer.

Note! Practice managers can also set calendar availability on behalf of the lawyers in their firm. See the Limiting appointment availability for individual lawyers section of Adding and managing appointment types for your law firm as a practice manager for more.
