The appointment area looks as follows:
When you sign up for the portal, FUSION ENTERPRISE Medical will work with you to determine which of these features you want enabled and which you do not want the patient to be able to do. A blurb can also be added to the Appointments area at the top indicating your scheduling policy.

Clicking on one of the "View calendar..." links will display a calendar for the selected month. Up to 5 visits can be shown per day. This is the same calendar they would see if you selected ‘Print Calendar’ from the schedule.
