# Monitor - Panel Appointments

The `Appointments` panel displays the next upcoming appointments clearly on the monitor.

| 💡 To be able to use appointments in GroupAlarm, you must first add the Dates and reminders extension under Admin ⇾ Extensions.

1️⃣ In addition to a title for the panel, you can adjust the font size and colour of the font and background for optimal graphical display.

| 💡 You can find information on the advanced formatting options [here](https://docs.groupalarm.com/en/article/edit-monitor-6fw9kh/#6-formatting-the-monitor).

2️⃣ You can use the maximum number of entries to control how many upcoming appointments should be displayed.

3️⃣ You can use the date format to customise the display of the date to your desired format. Information on the available formats can be found [here](https://docs.groupalarm.com/en/article/monitors-date-format-nln60o/).

4️⃣ The following functions allow you to show or hide certain elements.

`Show description` displays the description written in the appointment.

`Show end time` displays the end time defined in the appointment. Without this function, only the start time is displayed.

`View feedback` allows you to see how many of the invited participants have confirmed their attendance.
