# Calendar and bookings

> Book, move and cancel appointments, block time, and work the front desk queues.

The **Calendar** is where your practice books and runs its day. This section covers booking, changing and cancelling appointments, blocking out time, and the front desk lists for online requests, held bookings and the waitlist.

For patient records see [Patients](https://docs.bilby.health/patients/overview). For invoices and payments see [Billing and payments](https://docs.bilby.health/billing/overview). For bookings patients make themselves see [Online booking and patient pages](https://docs.bilby.health/online-booking/overview).

## Who can use this

Admins and reception see and book for everyone. Practitioners see and manage only their own calendar. Events and the front desk lists are for admins and reception. Closure dates are for admins.
