Appointment end time


Appointments appear on my Redtail calendar at correct start time but then end time is showing as 24 hours after the start time instead of one hour.

For End Date, try formatting like this:

[BookingStartTime] +[Duration]m

 

Replace [BookingStartTime] and [Duration] with their respective dynamically mapped values

NOTE: Make sure there is 1 space before the “+” and NO spaces before/after [Duration]

Check the fields you have mapped for the End Time field.

Looks like you have 2 data points mapped.

The first mapped data points appears to be a time range not a single time.

Plus it is then followed by a second mapped data point for duration which shouldn’t be used here.

 

Instead, use the same mapped value as the Start Time field followed by a space (don’t for get the leading space) and “+”[DURATION]“m”

I am still very unsure of what to do.  There is a drop down box that makes you select what to put in the field so this makes no sense to me.  I tried just typing the info in but that does not work either.  I have attached a copy of what I typed in.
