Once you’ve created your Appointment Categories, you can assign appointment types to them to keep everything neatly organised.

You can also add a category when you’re creating or editing an appointment type. Read on to learn how. 

Assigning an Appointment Type to a Category

1. Go to Settings → Scheduling → Appointment Types

2. Add a new appointment type, or click an existing type to edit

3. You’ll see an Appointment Category dropdown above the ISC field. Open it:

4. Choose from your existing list of categories, or type a new category into the field and hit Enter

5. Save your changes

Where Categories Appear

Once an appointment type has a category, it will appear grouped:

• In the Type dropdown of the appointment modal
• In the Type dropdown under Create → Appointment
• In Online Booking 2.0, on a new ‘Appointment Category’ homepage.

WriteUpp uses your category order (set under Fields) to decide how they display.
