For an appointment to display in the Appointments section on the start page, the user signed in to VertiGIS FM must be indicated in the Employees field of the appointment form.
Appointments Section on the VertiGIS FM Maintenance Start Page
Appointments are events that can be scheduled for most data objects in VertiGIS FM and are not to be confused with . Because an appointment must be associated with an object (for example, a standard contract or insurance contract), you must create it on the details page for an object.
