# Appointments **Appointments** provide scheduling views for your practice: create, edit, and track visits in the calendar UI. ### Plan access Scheduling routes require **Growth** or **Enterprise**, or an active **trial** that grants Growth-level capability. **Free** and **Starter** tiers hide appointment navigation and block those URLs behind an upgrade message. ### Navigation Use **Appointments** in the sidebar (`/appointments`). Depending on build configuration you may have **month/week/day** style layouts and modals to create or edit bookings. ### Notifications On **Growth**, an **appointment inbox** in the header can surface patient-submitted requests or changes in near real time—open the bell icon to review and jump into the calendar or patient context. ### Branch context Like patients and treatment data, appointment lists respect the **branch** selected in the header. Switch branches to manage schedules per location. ### Related * [Patient notes](/associhealth-docs/patients/patient-notes.md) — clinical notes tied to patients * [Treatment records overview](/associhealth-docs/treatment-records/overview.md) — billing lines after care is delivered --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
