You can schedule an appointment with a lead through the Lead Profile, and record the result of the appointment once it's passed. If the Appointment Scheduled contact point is set up, an email is sent to a lead each time you schedule an appointment. Once scheduled, an appointment remains on the calendar unless you remove it.
You can remove scheduled appointments by selecting an appointment in the Schedule Appointment window and clicking the Remove button in the appointment details pop-up.
You can access the Entrata calendar often to remind yourself of upcoming appointments.
For help using the Entrata Calendar, see Viewing the Entrata Calendar.
