You can create a group by clicking the Add to Group link in the patient search results. When you create an appointment for one member of the group, appointment tiles are created in hover mode for the other members. This keeps the appointments together so you can find a date and time to fit them all in.
Appointments that are part of a group display the group booking icon on the appointment tiles.

Click Add to Group. The Group Booking panel is displayed to the left of the appointment card with the patient's name.
The Add to Group link is only accessible from the search field within a new appointment card.
Use the search field to locate other patients for the group, and click Add to Group. The Group Booking panel displays the patients in the group, and names the group for the last name of the first patient.
