# Double-booking an Appointment

Overlapping multiple appointments is the means of "Double-booking".

**Start on your Schedule screen**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Select an existing appointment

Click on the time under the chosen employee's column where the client would like to schedule their service(s).

*In the case of "Double-booking", you'll be clicking on someone else's appointment that is already there on the Schedule.*

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Select Double Book

A window for the client whose appointment you just clicked on is going to pop up. Click **Double Book**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Select or add the client

You'll be brought to the regular scheduling window. Search for and select the client, or add them as a New Client.

![new appointment](/files/76df41ee68f480bd57d1d36a81ea9512979ca39e)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Schedule the appointment

Once the client has been selected, you can continue to [schedule an appointment](/scheduling/scheduling-editing-an-appointment-w-video.md) per usual.

*Choose the Client Type, add an optional Appointment Note, and select the service(s).*
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Create the appointment

Click **Create** at the bottom to finish.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

**"Double-booked" appointments will look as so:**

You are able to overlap as many appointments during a time slot as you wish.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.rosysalonsoftware.com/scheduling/double-booking-an-appointment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
