Prepare a practice appointment with defined duration and availability.

Written by Ray / SETLYUpdated 1 October 2026

THE RESULT YOU'RE WORKING TOWARD

Done means it works.

The displayed service duration and time zone match the configured values; any actual test booking has a matching calendar record.

Practice project: Harbor Home Care

01 / GET READY

Before you start.

Platform / editor
Wix Editor, desktop and mobile views
Access & plan
Wix demo account. Preview work can start without a custom domain; domains, bookings and other features depend on the selected plan.
Starting point
Complete the previous lesson or use an equivalent prepared demo project.

Keep a note of the exact account, project and version you use. Work with demo data and record the expected result before making changes. Never place passwords, verification codes or private customer records in your evidence.

02 / LEARN THE TOOL

Open the official walkthrough.

Use the publisher's instructions and available screenshots to locate the current controls. Then return here for the SETLY exercise and its result checks. These links open on the publisher's website.

Source credit belongs to the named publisher. These are external references, not SETLY recordings or a claim of affiliation. Screen names and plan availability can change.

03 / PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

Your task, step by step.

Use one labelled demo record or project so you can find your work again. Finish each action before continuing; if the screen differs, consult the matching official source rather than guessing.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Add the site's booking functionality and create a service named Home care consultation. Set a duration of 30 minutes and a demo staff member.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Set the business time zone and a narrow test availability window. Record which calendar is responsible for conflicts.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Review the customer's required fields, cancellation information and confirmation text. Use test-only contact details and disable outgoing messages for dry runs.

  4. 04

    Step 4

    Preview the customer journey. Where the account permits a controlled test booking, verify the appointment in the business calendar and then cancel the test.

04 / GET UNSTUCK

If something goes wrong.

Start with the likely cause

If no slots appear, compare staff availability, service hours, booking notice and existing calendar conflicts before widening availability.

My screen is different from the guide

Check the product, editor, account role and selected project first. Open the credited official instructions for your version. Record the difference and pause any action whose effect you cannot verify.

The screen looks correct, but the result is missing

Inspect the saved record, published page or execution log that should prove the action. A preview, success message or draft is not always evidence that data was stored or a message was delivered. Retest with one unique demo value.

05 / PROVE THE RESULT

Check it before you call it done.

The displayed service duration and time zone match the configured values; any actual test booking has a matching calendar record.

Keep useful evidence

Record the test date, project/version, expected result, observed result and a non-sensitive screenshot or record reference. Mark anything you did not test as untested. Your checkmarks do not certify an untested result.
