You can view appointments in both the classic and modernized versions of Entities. This section helps you view and manage appointment records across both experiences. In classic Entities, you can appoint and manage individuals for a company. The modernized version provides a streamlined table with filters and tools that support efficient viewing and analysis of data. Learn more about how appointments work in each version.
