To book a new appointment customer needs to click New Appointment button on all appointments page and then:

  1. Choose desired work from available works list

Available hours are calculatated with getAvailableHours function from AppointmentService:

List<TimePeroid> getAvailableHours(int providerId,int customerId, int workId, LocalDate date)

This function works as follow:

  1. gets selected provider working plan
  2. gets working hours from working plan for selected day
  3. excludes all brakes from working hours
  4. excludes all providers booked appointments for that day
  5. excludes all customers booked appointments for that day
  6. gets selected work duration and calculate available time peroids
  7. returns available hours

Appointments lifecycle

1. Every appointment has it's own status. Below you can find description for every possible status:

Status Set by When Condition
scheudled system New appointment is created -
finished system Current date is after appointment end time current appointment status is scheduled and current date is after appointment end time
confirmed system Current date is 24h after appointment end time current appointment status is finished and current date is more than 24h after appointment end time
invoiced system Invoice for appointment is created -
canceled customer Customer clicks cancel button current appointment status is scheduled and current date is not less than 24h before appointment start time and user total canceled appointments number for current month is not greater than 1
rejection requested customer Customer clicks reject button current appointment status is finished and current date is not more than 24h after appointment end time
rejection accepted provider Provider clicks accept rejection button current appointment status is rejection requested

2. Normal appointment lifecycle is:

  1. scheduled - after user creates new appointment
  2. finished - after system time is after appointment end time
  3. confirmed - after system time is more than 24h after appointment end time and user didn't request rejection
  4. invoiced - after invoiced is issued automatically on the 1st day of next month

3. Appointment rejection

After appointment status is changed to finished system automatically sends email to customer with information that appointment is finished. In case that the appointment didn't take place there is also a link attached to that email that allows customer to reject that the appointment didn't take place. That link is valid for 24h after appointment finished time. If user will no click that link then appointment status will be automatically chaned to confirmed after 24h and invoiced at the 1st day of next month. If user will click that link an email is send to provider that his customer requested rejection. If provied will accept that rejection then appointment status will be changed to rejection accepted and appointment will be not invoiced.

4. Apppointment cancellation

Every appointment can be canceled by customer or provider. Customer is allowed to cancel 1 appointment in a month no less than 24h before appointment start date. Provider is allowed to cancel his appointments without any limit as long as the appointment status is scheduled.

Notifications

1. An email notification is sent when:

  • appointment is finished
  • appointment rejection is rquested
  • appointment rejection is accepted
  • new appointment is created
  • appointment is canceled
  • invoice is issued
