Abstract

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for managing follow-up appointments in a calendaring system. In one illustrative embodiment, a follow-up appointment is created to an original appointment using a processor and responsive to receiving a user input. Information is set for the follow-up appointment created in response to receiving the user input. The follow-up appointment is associated with the original appointment in a data structure stored in a computer readable storage device to form an associated follow-up appointment. The associated follow-up appointment is then stored in the calendaring system.
