<p>A direct scheduling system (100,300) that permits automatic appointment scheduling in a computer network environment (304). The system includes a scheduler (108,320) that utilizes scheduling parameters (124,336) to schedule appointments (104) of various types. A user interface (112,324) allows a requester to request that the scheduler schedule an appointment by identifying, among other things, the type of appointment so that a digital appointment identifier (172,332) is created. A mapper (116,328), located between the user interface and scheduler, is configured to map each appointment requested to the corresponding one or more scheduling parameters that the scheduler needs to schedule an appointment of the desired type.</p> |
