There must be a easily recognizable order of importance to appointments, this aids in the determination of who will service the client. Through the use of colors keyed to trigger logical responses in personnel ClientMagic can improve client flow 50% or more. Emergencies can be designated with a Red color background, then a simple glance at any ClientMagic screen will reveal the remaining "Emergencies" to concentrate on. Specialized services can be given different colors, as a rush job might be given a Green Background, and sub out to another vendor might be grey.
Some of our clients setup columns for locations in there organization. For example you might define column 1,2,3,4,5 as special places where services are performed. Then by viewing the ClientMagic appointment manager, you can easily see where available time is for this place and drag and drop a client to fill this space. Some of our users make copies of the same appointment and place it in several places at different times. then a glance at the screen will tell you where the client is currently and where he is to go next.
So you see, by colorizing the appointments, you greatly increase recognition of appointment type enabling the organization to better plan availability of places, and providers of the services.
