Appointment Restrictions
Overview
As most seller and agent schedules vary from day-to-day due to work, vacations, or even a simple doctor's appointment, ShowingTime provides a way for agents to create appointment restrictions for specific days and/or times which differ from the day to day standard ones. This is known as Setting an Appointment Rule, which is anything that will change the normal outcome for confirming showings based on preferences set on a listing's instruction worksheet.
In some markets when Allow Overlapping Showings is set to no, a user will be unable to schedule appointments back-to-back. This is known as buffer time.
You can add restrictions from your mobile device.
ShowingTime offers a variety of add-on showing solutions and market analysis tools. Learn how these products can enhance your showing management package and your clients' experience.
Creating a Showing Restriction
Showing Restrictions can be created and managed in two places on the Listing Worksheet:
Under the Appointment Restrictions section, which will display in a list view.
On the Showing Restrictions tab, which will be organized in a calendar view, allowing you to dynamically see restrictions set in place by day, week, or month.
