# How to assign a place from the waiting list for a group appointment (desktop)

In this article, you will learn how to manually add a waiting client to a group appointment when a place becomes available on desktop.

**PLATFORM_SWITCH:** [Desktop](https://help.zoyya.com/en/article/how-to-assign-a-place-from-the-waiting-list-for-a-group-appointment-desktop-1b9lniv/) · [Mobile](https://help.zoyya.com/en/article/how-to-assign-a-place-from-the-waiting-list-for-a-group-appointment-mobile-1nyk0zg/)

## Steps

1. Open **Requests > Waiting list**.
2. Select the group appointment by its date and time, service, and resource.
3. Open the **Waiting list** tab in the appointment.
4. Find the first suitable client with the **Waiting** status.
5. Click **Add to appointment**.
6. Review the client details and select a membership when that option is shown.
7. Enable a payment request, email or SMS confirmation when needed, and enter a note if required.
8. Confirm the addition.
9. Check that the client now has the **Appointment created** status in the queue.

## When does Zoyya add a client automatically?

Whether Zoyya attempts to add the client automatically is controlled by [**Automatically fill an available place on the appointment**](https://help.zoyya.com/en/article/how-to-edit-advanced-settings-for-group-appointments-desktop-4fte7m/). When it is disabled, follow the manual process in this article. The linked article describes queue order, eligibility checks, and payment during automatic filling.

## Important

|| **Add to appointment** applies to the group appointment currently open. Check the date, time, service, and resource before confirming.

| The client receives a reserved place only after the addition succeeds or the required payment is completed.

| The **Appointment created** status confirms that the waiting-list entry is linked to a place created in the group appointment.
