Before you beginThis guide follows the supplied Britixo Appointments & Scheduling module version 1.3.6. The relevant access is Appointments: View. A menu, button, provider, time slot or client action can remain hidden when the signed-in user lacks the required permission, the module setting is disabled, the related record is in an ineligible state, or availability validation rejects the request.

What this feature does

Resolve appointments appearing on the wrong day or time across staff, client, calendar, reminder and report views. It uses Britixo's permission-aware appointment, availability, status and integration flow rather than an unconnected diary entry.

How the module flow works

Appointment date/time is interpreted with stored timezone and CRM/server context.

Google, Outlook and ICS receive timezone data and may display according to the calendar user's local settings.

Cron reminders and date-based filters rely on server processing boundaries.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Record the appointment's stored date, time and timezone.
  2. Compare CRM, server, staff and customer timezone settings.
  3. Check remote calendar event timezone.
  4. Check daylight-saving status.
  5. Correct the appointment through Edit and retest reminders/reports.

What happens after completion

After this workflow completes, Britixo keeps the appointment and its supported relationships connected. Reopen the appointment and verify the saved status, date, timezone, customer or lead, service, provider, attendees, reminder state, calendar or meeting reference, invoice reference and history that apply to this feature. External email, SMS, Google, Microsoft or payment outcomes must be checked separately from the Britixo database save.

  • Open the saved appointment and confirm the final status and source.
  • Check the participant, provider, timing and timezone from the full detail page.
  • Review the relevant table filter, calendar, history, report or linked invoice instead of relying only on a success message.

Controls, checks and common mistakes

  • Do not manually offset the time to compensate for a configuration error.
  • Test around daylight-saving transitions.
  • Use a fresh ICS or remote update after correction.
  • Use the least destructive correction and retain the appointment history when the booking existed operationally.
  • Never bypass a permission, availability, approval, client-access or verification control by changing an unrelated route or setting.
Scheduling and data safetyAppointment changes can notify customers, reserve provider time, update remote calendars, create meeting links or invoices and alter reports. Confirm the exact record, timezone, status and recipients before saving.
